These were the glucose tolerance test, the insulin tolerance test, and the glucose-insulin tolerance test. When properly employed and interpreted, these tests are of considerable value.

متن کاملThe sympathochromaffin system and the pituitary-adrenocortical response to hypoglycemia.
Mezey et al. (1) reported that insulininduced hypoglycemia stimulated ACTH secretion of normal magnitude in rats with two types ofbrain lesions (hypophyseal stalk transection and medial basal hypothalamic destruction), either of which "removes all central input to the pituitary... ." Because treatment with propranolol blocked the ACTH response in such lesioned rats the authors concluded that th...
متن کاملHypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis Programming after Recurrent Hypoglycemia during Development
Permanent brain injury is a complication of recurrent hypoglycemia during development. Recurrent hypoglycemia also has adverse consequences on the neuroendocrine system. Hypoglycemia-associated autonomic failure, characterized by ineffective glucose counterregulation during hypoglycemia, is well described in children and adults on insulin therapy for diabetes mellitus. Whether recurrent hypogly...
