[Effect of long term prazosin treatment on secretion of insulin, glucagon, gastrin, and pancreatic polypeptide in patients with essential hypertension].
Secretion of insulin, glucagon, gastrin and pancreatic polypeptide (PP) at basal and test meal stimulation conditions were investigated in 17 patients with essential hypertension (EH) before and after 12 months of treatment with prazosin and in 10 healthy subjects. Before prazosin therapy, patients with EH differ from healthy subject higher insulin and gastrin but lower PP secretion after test meal stimulation. 12 month therapy with prazosin enhanced insulin and suppressed gastrin secretion stimulated by test meal in comparison to the pretreatment values. Prazosin therapy did not influence significantly glucagon and PP secretion. Our results suggest, that long term prazosin treatment markedly influenced insulin and gastrin secretion in patients with EH.
