In vivo evidences that insulin regulates human polymorphonuclear neutrophil functions
2 Sept 2004
Abstract excerpt
Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) are able to destroy invasive mircoorganisms by a wide variety of functions. Whereas insulin does not stimulate hexose transport in PMN, previous reports have clearly shown that this hormone regulates glucose metabolism inside this cell, raising the question of insulin action on PMN functions in humans. It is interesting that in vitro studies established a strong relationship...
