Lack of influence of arginine preloading on the insulin response to I.V. glucagon in children and adolescents

Lack of influence of arginine preloading on the insulin response to I.V. glucagon in children and adolescents

I Blum et al. Acta Diabetol Lat. 1978 Jan-Apr.

Abstract

Nine normal children (6 males and 3 females) aged from 7 1/2 to 14 1/2 years underwent a 30-min arginine infusion (0.5 g/kg) followed at 90 min by one bolus i.v. glucagon injection (0.03 mg/kg). On a separate occasion the same children underwent an i.v. glucagon only test. No significant difference was found when the glucose and insulin responses in the two glucagon tests were compared, in contrast to previous findings that preloading with glucose resulted in a significantly increased response of insulin to glucagon.
