title: [Insulin sensitivity and glucose utilization of patients after total duodenopancreatectomy (author's transl)].
abstract: Studies in 7 patients after total duodenopancreatectomy showed a raised insulin sensitivity and a prolonged effect of depot insulin. Insulinemia is not the only reason for the tendency to hypoglycemia shown by these patients, which seems rather to be due to the lack of pancreatic glucagon, which is not available to antagonize the inhibition of glucose release from the liver by insulin (and also in alcohol abuse).
