Hyperglycemic effect in the rabbit induced by ACTH4-10
Abstract:
In the rabbit, a single i.v. administration of ACTH4-10 (130 micrograms/kg) induces hyperglycemia. As ACTH4-10 also induces hypocalcemia and inhibits insulin secretion, we suggest that hypocalcemia, inhibition of insulin secretion, and hyperglycemia, are closely related.
