Somogyi effect in patient with hypopituitarism.
A patient with diabetes mellitus and hypopituitarism developed the Somogyi effect that was characterized by insulin-induced hypoglycemia and rebound insulin-resistant hypoglycemia. This compensatory insulin-resistant hyperglycemia has generally been ascribed to the release of anterior hypophyseal hormones; however, our findings suggest that factors other than anterior hypophyseal hormones are involved.
