Neutrophils Release Metalloproteinases during Adhesion in the Presence of Insulin, but Cathepsin G in the Presence of Glucagon

<div>Effect of hormones on the morphology of human neutrophils attached to fibronectin. Scanning electron microscopy images of neutrophils that were attached to fibronectin for 20 min in control conditions (a) or in the presence of 0.1 <i>μ</i>M insulin (b), 0.1 <i>μ</i>M E2 (c), or 0.1 <i>μ</i>M glucagon (d). Pictures represent typical images observed in two independent experiments.</div>
