title: Effects of physiological increases in plasma noradrenaline on the human endocrine pancreas.
abstract: The effect of plasma noradrenaline concentrations within the physiological range (less than 5-6 nM) on the endocrine pancreas was investigated in 9 nondiabetic volunteers. Noradrenaline significantly inhibited plasma insulin levels but did not change plasma glucagon and somatostatin concentrations.
