Popis: In order to evaluate the role of the adrenergic nervous system in the regulation of insulin secretion, 11 normal subjects, 5 adrenalectomized and 6 sympathectomized patients were given rapid intravenous glucose doses of 5 g and 20 g on 2 separate days. The acute insulin response was expressed as the mean 3′-5′ insulin increment (ΔIRI), the percent basal insulin, total incremental insulin area, and the ratio of ΔIRI to the mean 3′-5′ glucose increment. Basal glucose and insulin levels were not significantly different when normal subjects were compared to adrenalectomized and sympathectomized patients. In all three groups the mean 3′-5′ glucose increment to both the 5 g and 20 g glucose pulse was similar. The acute insulin response to both 5 g and 20 g glucose injections in adrenalectomized and sympathectomized patients was not statistically different than normal, regardless of the method of calculation. In addition, there was virtually no difference between any of the three groups in the magnitude...
