Comparison of propranolol, metoprolol, and acebutolol on insulin-induced hypoglycaemia.

Acebutolol, atenolol, and propranolol and metabolic responses to acute hypoglycaemia in diabetics.

In a double-blind crossover study the symptomatic and metabolic effects of propranolol, acebutolol, and atenolol were studied during insulin-induced hypoglycaemia in diabetics treated with diet or hypoglycaemic tablets. All the drugs prevented tachycardia, but did not affect the other symptoms of hypoglycaemia. Propranolol delayed the recovery of the blood glucose concentration and impaired the...

The effect of propranolol or metoprolol on thermoregulation during insulin-induced hypoglycaemia in man.

Comparison of atenolol and propranolol during insulin-induced hypoglycaemia.

The effects of atenolol, a new beta1-blocking drug, on pulse rate, sweating, and blood glucose levels during insulin-induced hypoglycaemia were studied in a double-blind crossover trial in eight normal subjects using placebo and propranolol as reference agents. The intensity of induced hypoglycaemia was identical for atenolol, propranolol, and placebo. Propranolol prolonged hypoglycaemia, but a...

Determination of Metoprolol, Acebutolol and Propranolol in Pharmaceutical Formulations using the Same SIA System

Apresenta-se um sistema mecanizado para a determinação de β–bloqueadores em preparações farmacêuticas. Através da utilização da técnica de Análise de Injeção Sequencial (SIA) foi obtida uma metodologia simples, econômica e versátil, adaptável a todo o tipo de controlo farmacêutico envolvendo estas substâncias. As amostras não necessitam de pré-tratamento devendo apenas ser dissolvidas em ácido ...

Impact of wastewater treatment plants on receiving surface waters and a tentative risk evaluation: the case of estrogens and beta blockers.

Five estrogenic hormones (unconjugated + conjugated fractions) and 10 beta blockers were analyzed in three wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents and receiving river waters in the area of Lyon, France. In the different samples, only two estrogens were quantified: estrone and estriol. Some beta blockers, such as atenolol, acebutolol, and sotalol, were almost always quantified, but others, e...
