Insulin secretion in cardiogenic shock. 1969

J R Dykes, and C Saxton, and S H Taylor

A nearly complete suppression of insulin secretion was observed in four patients in circulatory shock following acute myocardial infarction. This may be due to intense sympathetic activity and raised catecholamine excretion associated with shock.

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).
