Abstract

High basal gastrin levels in pure autonomic failure could result from peripheral vagus nerve involvement, whereas the increased response during hypoglycaemia may reflect adrenergic supersensitivity. A reduced gastrin increment in multiple system atrophy was found following insulin-hypoglycaemia and is consistent with decreased gastrin release secondary to diminished central sympathetic nervous system activation in the absence of peripheral denervation supersensitivity.
