The effect of glucagon on myoinositol levels in the blood serum and its excretion with urine.
The investigations were carried out with a group of ten healthy men aged 20--26 years who were injected intravenously with glucagon in a single dose of 50 microgram per kg of body weight. Glucagon had no effect on myoinositol levels in the blood serum. It caused however, a significant decrease in the myoinositol discharge into urine and lowered the index of renal myoinositol clearance. The creatinine clearance index remained unchanged.
