title: [Effect of propranolol therapy on the secretion of insulin, glucagon, gastrin and pancreatic polypeptide in patients with essential hypertension].
abstract: A group of 20 patients with primary hypertension (NT) were studied for the influence of six-week propranolol therapy on the secretion of immunoreactive insulin (IR-I), gastrin glucagon (IR-G) and pancreatic polypeptide (IR-PP) induced by a high-fat test meal. The results of the examination before the therapy were compared with examination of 10 healthy persons. Before the therapy, the patients with NT revealed a decreased reactivity of IR-PP to the food stimulus. After propranolol therapy, the authors found a significant change of glucagonemia profile and pancreatic polypeptide concentration induced by a test meal. The results of the examinations made suggest a direct or indirect participation of beta-adrenergic endings in the regulation of glucagon and pancreatic polypeptide secretion in patients with primary hypertension.
