Glucose metabolism in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
Serum glucose levels in SHR (especially SHR selected for a greater hyperglycemic response) tended to be higher at 'fasting' and were significantly higher after peroral glucose administration than those in normotensive WK. However, plasma immunoreactive insulin was not decreased in SHR as compared with WK. No significant acceleration of gluconeogenesis was observed in SHR.
