title: [Influence of the beta-receptor blocker nifenalol on insulin secretion in normal subjects and diabetic patients (author's transl)].
abstract: In 10 insulin-independent diabetic patients and 5 healthy volunteers the basal and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion was tested before and during oral treatment with the beta-blocker 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-isopropylaminoethanol (nifenalol, Inpea). In diabetic patients the insulin secretion was not changed by Inpea. The fasting blood sugar levels were slightly elevated in 8 of these patients. This result, which could not be ascertained statistically, may be due to a slight intrinsic activity of this beta-blocker. The normal subjects showed different responses. In one person the glucose tolerance deteriorated by Inpea.
