Summary

The possible correlation between sialic acid content of hepatocyte plasma membranes, and their binding capacity was investigated. For that purpose, |3H| asialotransferrin binding was tested with hepatocytes from both normal and streptozotocin treated rats. The observed decrease in binding capacity was parallel to a decrease in the sialic acid content. Insulin therapy restored simultaneously normal blood glucose level, hepatic membrane sialic acid content and binding capacity.
