ABSTRACT
The authors studied the effects of intramuscular and intravenous administration of ACTH on plasma glucose and insulin in rabbits. They found well marked differences --specially in insulin behavior-- between the effects of ACTH in rabbits and in humans. In rabbits, the investigators observed hyperinsulinism unable to decrease glycemia levels. These data are discussed.
