title: [Correlation between blood insulin response and blood potassium changes during oral glucose load (preliminary note)].
abstract: Glucose, insulin, K+ and Na+ serum levels were measured at fixed intervals during OGTT. Na+ showed no significant changes, while K+ progressively decreased from 0 to 240 min. A good correlation was found between kaliaemic lowest levels and insulin peak (p less than 0,01): the former followed the latter by 60-120 min. No correlation seemed to exist between nadir K+/basal K+ ratio and insulin peak. The results and their clinical implications are discussed.
