Should not change practice; leaves open whether vascular bed-specific insulin binding influences diabetes-related endothelial dysfunction or warrants targeted investigation.
Human arterial endothelial cells bind at least 2.5 times more insulin than venous endothelial cells, demonstrating that insulin receptor concentration varies by vascular source.
Bar et al. (1980) studied this question.
