Abstract

Hepatocytes isolated from young and old rats were compared for glucagon binding and its biological effect. Liver cells from young rats showed a receptor binding of the hormone significantly higher than cells from old rats. Such a behaviour was paralleled by the activity of the hormone. In fact, the glucagon-dependent stimulation of adenylate cyclase in the hepatocytes from the former group of animals was twice as high as in the latter.
