Control of Basal Insulin Secretion, with Special Reference to the Diagnosis of Insulinomas

摘要: Estimation of plasma glucose and immunoreactive insulin concentrations in normal subjects after an overnight fast showed that with high basal levels tended to have concentrations. A similar correlation between was seen patients obesity various endocrine disorders. The suppression associated hypoglycaemia used derive “amended insulin-glucose ratio,” which appeared be a good discriminant for the diagnosis insulinomas. In ratio less than 30 μU insulin/mg glucose, obese 50 μU/mg, most insulinomas had values over 200 μU/mg.
