Abstract
Binding of human GH (hGH) and insulin‐like growth factors I and II (IGFI and II) to isolated human adipocytes from adult subjects was studied. Binding equilibrium for hGH at 24°C was reached at 120 min and half‐maximal specific binding at 6–8 . Apparent K a was 2.1 × 109 M−1 and B max 7.3 × 10−11 M/106 cells. The human fat cellgrowth hormone receptor recognized neither bovine, ovine or rat GH nor human prolactin or placental lactogen. No specific receptors for human IGFII could be demonstrated. Thus, human adipocytes do not possess IGF receptors but have specific GH receptors which recognize hGH but not GH from lower species.Keywords
