A comparison of the insulin and insulin-like growth factor I receptors from rat brain and liver.

abstract：:The Leydig cells of the testis are known to possess high affinity receptors for luteinizing hormone and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), but no information concerning the synthesis of these receptors is available yet. In order to investigate this question, we have purified crude rat interstitial cell preparations o...
