Acute infections are accompanied by tissue insulin resistance, as manifested by worsening of metabolic control in diabetic patients and decreased glucose tolerance in non-diabetic subjects. To clarify the potential role of altered insulin receptor status in this phenomenon, [125I]insulin binding to monocytes was studied in 7 otherwise healthy subjects during acute bacterial and viral infections of moderate severity. The values were compared to those obtained after convalescence (5 patients) and those of 24 normal subjects. Insulin binding during infection, at a time when insulin resistance was demonstrable, was indistinguishable from convalescent or normal values. Plasma glucose and insulin levels, the insulin to glucose ratio, as well as plasma growth hormone, cortisol and free fatty acids were significantly elevated during infection, while plasma glucagon, epinephrine and norepinephrine levels were normal. Insofar as monocyte receptors are representative of other tissues, insulin resistance in infection apparently is mediated at the postreceptor level.
