INHIBITION OF THE INSULIN RESPONSE TO GLUCOSE AFTER TREATMENT WITH CYPROHEPTADINE

Avraham Golander, Z Spirer

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

ABSTRACT. The effect of cyproheptadine treatment on the glucose‐induced insulin response was studied on a group of 8 children. The insulin response to a glucose load either i. v. or orally was found to be blunted after one month of treatment with a low dose of cyproheptadine. These results suggest that cyproheptadine administered to our patients reduced their insulin reserves.
