Abstract
Glycated insulin was evaluated in plasma and biological tissues of diabetic animal models by immuno. cytochemistry (ICC) and a novel radioimmunoassay. Glycated insulin circulated at 0.10 +/-0.04 ng/ml and 2.20 +/-0.14 ng/ml in lean and diabetic obese (ob/ob) mice, corresponding to 12.5 and 9.8% total plasma insulin, respectively. The concentration of glycated insulin was elevated 22-fold in obese mice compared to controls (P
