Intravenous glucagon.

Effect of glucagon in intravenous glucose tolerance.

Acute insulin response to intravenous glucagon in polycystic ovary syndrome.

In order to evaluate the acute insulin response after i.v. injection of glucagon in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), 35 women affected by PCOS and 11 normo-ovulatory controls underwent a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and, 2 days later, a glucagon test (1 mg i.v.). Patients were analysed according to their degree of obesity; the insulin release after glucagon injection for lean PCOS s...

Alterations in glucose turnover following single intravenous injections of epinephrine and glucagon in dogs.

The technique of priming injection-continuous infusion of tracer glucose-U-C14 was employed in 7 anesthetized dogs, each serving as its own control, to determine the immediate changes in rates of appearance (Ra) and disappearance (Rd) of plasma glucose following single intravenous injections of epinepbrine (IO pg. per Kg.) and glucagon (I pg. per Kg.). Mean maximal hyperglycemia induced by the ...

Delayed hypersensitivity reaction after intravenous glucagon administered for a barium enema: a case report.

INTRODUCTION Few reports have documented allergic hypersensitivity reactions after barium gastrointestinal studies. Of these, the barium suspension, its additives or intravenous glucagon given for bowel relaxation has been implicated as possible allergens. We report a patient with delayed hypersensitivity reaction after barium enema and discuss the reasons supporting glucagon as the possible al...

Effect of intravenous glucagon on the survival of rats after acute occlusive mesenteric ischemia.

The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal timing of intravenous glucagon infusion for the treatment of acute occlusive mesenteric ischemia. The superior mesenteric artery (SMA) was occluded for 85 min in 106 Sprague-Dawley anesthetized rats. The animals were divided into 12 treatment groups according to the timing of glucagon and saline administration, and survival was measured to ...
