Glucagon and growth hormone secretion in insulin-treated diabetics: effects of added sulfonylureas. 1978

F Fallucca, and M Iavicoli, and G Menzinger, and C Mirabella, and D Andreani

Eleven insulin-dependent ketosis-prone diabetics were given glibenclamide (5 mg/day) in addition to their usual insulin treatment for a period of 1 or 6 mo. There was significant reduction in arginine-induced IRG and hGH secretion and no change in blood glucose levels after either 1 or 6 mo of treatment. During that time no change in weight or insulin requirement was observed. The importance of the duration of treatment and the fact that in this type of patient the effects on IRG and hGH secretion could not be mediated by the influence on insulin secretion are stressed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.

D005934 Glucagon A 29-amino acid pancreatic peptide derived from proglucagon which is also the precursor of intestinal GLUCAGON-LIKE PEPTIDES. Glucagon is secreted by PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS and plays an important role in regulation of BLOOD GLUCOSE concentration, ketone metabolism, and several other biochemical and physiological processes.
