Studies on the disappearance of equine chorionic gonadotropin from the circulation in the rat: tissue uptake and degradation.

abstract：:To mimick a state of hyperinsulinemia, normal rats were infused with insulin for 4 days via minipumps, and compared to saline infused rats. At the end of the experimental period, the abundance of mRNA was increased in white adipose tissue (WAT) and decreased in muscles of "insulinized" rats compared to controls. These...
