Hypertension in hypoglycemic diabetics treated with beta-adrenergic antagonists.
To evaluate the response during insulin-induced hypoglycemia, diabetics treated with relatively selective or nonselective beta-adrenergic blocking agents were studied. Placebo, atenolol (100 mg/day), and propranolol (80 mg b.i.d.) were administered to 12 insulin-treated diabetics for 1 week in a double-blind, randomized, crossover fashion with a 2-week washout between treatments. Sufficient int...
متن کاملBeta-adrenergic blocking drugs in the treatment of hypertension.
The reduction in blood pressure seen with the use of beta-blocking drugs was an unexpected finding. Initially there was resistance to their use as the reduction of cardiac output and increase in peripheral resistance from beta-blockade was considered an undesirable pharmacological action for a drug in the treatment of hypertension. However, beta-blockers have now become established in the treat...

متن کاملI-17: Should All Women with PCOS-Related Infertility Be Treated with Insulin Sensitizing Drugs?
Interest in the role of insulin sensitizing drugs (ISDs) as a means of reducing compensatory hyperinsulinemia in the hope of improving metabolic and reproductive functions in women with PCOS has grown measurably over the past decade. Metformin is believed to lower fasting serum insulin levels in insulin-resistance. For the management of ovulatory infertility in the nonobese PCOS population (BMI...
