Abstract excerpt
We have studied the role of the insulin receptor (IR) in metabolic and growth-promoting effects of insulin on primary cultures of skeletal muscle derived from the limb muscle of IR null mice. Cultures of IR null skeletal muscle displayed normal morphology and spontaneous contractile activity. Expression of muscle-differentiating proteins was slightly reduced in myoblasts and myotubes of the IR null skeletal...
