Abstract excerpt
Using reverse transcription-competitive polymerase chain reaction, we measured the abundance of the mRNAs encoding the two spliced isoforms of insulin receptor in aged and mildly insulin-deficient rats. Twelve-month-old rats were characterized by peripheral insulin resistance and decreased glucose tolerance. Mild insulin deficiency, obtained by neonatal streptozotocin treatment, was associated with glucose...
