Hypoglycemia in mice injected with interferon inducers is not mediated by interferon.

RESUMO

Injection of mice with several viral and nonviral inducers of interferon resulted in a marked hypoglycemia. Interferon is not responsible for this effect since inoculation of a potent antiserum to interferon (which neutralized the endogenous interferon) did not prevent hypoglycemia and administration of potent interferon preparations did not lower blood sugar. Hypoglycemia induced by Newcastle disease virus and polyriboinosinic-polyribocytidylic acid was further exacerbated by injection of insulin.
