Influence of Glucocorticoids on Glucagon Secretion and Plasma Amino Acid Concentrations in Man

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Plasma concentrations of glucagon, insulin, glucose, and individual plasma amino acids were measured in normal nonobese and obese subjects before and after 3 days of dexamethasone treatment (2 mg/day) and in patients with Cushing's syndrome. The subjects were studied in the basal postabsorptive state and following the infusion of alanine (0.15 g/kg) or ingestion of a protein meal.
