[Blood sugar in patients with vegetativ dysfunction and neurotic tendencies (author's transl)]

There are multiple relations between neurotic abnormal behavior and the incidence of functional vegetativ disorders and there are also correlations between such dysfunctions and blood sugar homoiostasis. In patients with functional vegetative dysorders and neurotic behavior we performed a glucose tolerance test and compared the results to a control group. In the group of patients with vegetative dysfunction and neurotic tendencies the oral glucose tolerance test was abnormal in 68.4 p.c. as compared to 21.3 p.c. in the control group. Several insulin antagonists which play a role in stress responses are discussed in the interpretation of these surprising results.
