While insulin effects on the central nervous system (CNS) mediated through hypoglycaemia are well known, direct insulin effects on the CNS remain controversial. Recently, we found insulin receptors in all areas of the rat brain, with highest concentrations in the olfactory bulb, cerebral cortex and

Specific insulin receptors are present in the liver and brain of the lizard Anolis carolinesis. In this study, the specific binding of 12sI-insulin to the receptors showed time, temperature and pH dependency. Specific binding to crude membranes prepared from brain was 1-2% of the total radioactivity
The binding of 'L51-insulin to primary cultures of bovine brain microvessel endothlial cells was examined. Insulin binding was both time and temperature dependent and inhibited by excess unlabeled insulin. Furthermore, the specific binding of insulin was polarized to the apical side of the cell mono
