Insulin levels during lactate infusion
JM Gorman, MR Liebowitz, J Stein, AJ Fyer and DF Klein
To determine whether the lactate-induced panic of patients with panic
attacks results from hyperinsulinism balanced by epinephrine-enhanced
gluconeogenesis, the authors measured 10 subjects' insulin levels exactly
when the lactate-induced attacks began. The insulin levels were normal.
