title: [Behavior of plasma cortisol during testing with insulin and with LVP in obese subjects compared to normal subjects after resperine administration].
abstract: The behaviour of plasma cortisol levels was studied in fifteen overweight subjects with comparison to normal subjects. In eight subjects the insulin hypoglycemic test was performed before and after medication with reserpine (4mg/24HR); the other seven subjects were tested with LVP before and after treatment with reserpine. In both cases, premedication with reserpine significantly reduce the cortisolemic response. This behaviour is similar to the response observed in normal subjects.
