interaction between insulin and diuretics

ABSTRACT

In this paper we studied the interaction between various types of diuretics and different types of insulins. This work was done on two groups of rabbits. In the first part of the work group [1] of rabbits received crystalline insulin and furosemide while group [2] of rabbits received crystalline insulin and salyrgan. Two weeks later, the second part of the work was repeated on the same crossed groups. Group [1] received protamin zinc insulin and furosemide and group [2] received protamin zinc insulin and salyrgan. The results showed that there was an inhibitory effect of furosemide and salyrgan on the hypoglycemic action of crystalline insulin. On the other hand, both diuretics did not affect the hypoglycemic action of protamin zinc insulin
