abstractText | The aim of the present study was to analyze whether aging also affects central insulin receptors in brain cortex as it does in whole brain of BALB/c-nu mice. Results showed statistically significant decrease of number and increase of affinity of insulin high affinity binding sites in old animals. As a consequence, central insulin actions, among which neuromodulation of monoaminergic system, can result altered during aging. |
