The effect of metformin on hepatocyte insulin receptor binding was examined in normal, streptozotocin diabetic and genetically obese diabetic (ob/ob) mice. In normal mice, chronic administration of metformin (60 mg X kg-1 X day-1 for 50 weeks) increased the number of low affinity receptors by 148%.
Adenylate cyclase activity was determined using a purified plasma membrane fraction prepared from isolated adipocytes by a Percoll gradient centrifugation procedure. The activation of adenylate cyclase by isoprenaline was reduced by approximately 50% in membranes from obese mice, although no reducti
