    Notes: Abstract It is known that a single dose of a neuroleptic can elicit dopaminergic supersensitivity in animals. On the other hand, the clinical syndrome of tardive dyskinesia takes many months or years to develop. To resolve this apparent discrepancy, it is possible that subclinical or latent tardive dyskinesia is fully compensated in most patients taking neuroleptics. In others, where the tardive dyskinesia is full-blown and grossly apparent, the dopaminergic supersensitivity may be decompensated. Such compensatory and decompensatory phases have been proposed earlier by Hornykiewicz (1974), in the case of Parkinson's Disease. Dopaminergic supersensivity persists for a period proportional to the length of the neuroleptic treatment. It is not yet clear whether the relation between the length of treatment and the persistence of supersensitivity holds for very long treatments but in principle the relationship might account for the persistence of tardive dyskinesia after years of neuroleptic pretreatment.

    Notes: Summary Previous studies in man and pancreatectomized dogs have indicated that alterations of the pharmacokinetics of subcutaneously injected insulin during physical activity may contribute to exercise-induced hypoglycaemia in insulin-treated diabetic patients. We have directly measured the appearance of subcutaneously injected insulin in the circulation and assessed its distribution to different tissues using a recently developed semisynthetic homogeneous [3H]insulin as a tracer. Following subcutaneous injection in rats of [3H]insulin in amounts insufficient to exert significant biological activity in intact animals, circulating levels of exogenous insulin were measured as plasma radioactivity co-migrating with insulin during gel filtration chromatography. Strenuous treadmill running accelerated the mobilization of subcutaneously injected [3H] insulin and resulted in a significant elevation of circulating levels of exogenous insulin early during exercise, followed by decreased levels in the post-exercise period. In addition, exercise induced a redistribution of 3H radioactivity in tissues, mainly increasing that found in skeletal muscle. This direct demonstration of altered pharmacokinetics of subcutaneously injected insulin during exercise provides, at least in part, a mechanism for the exercise-induced hypoglycemia seen following insulin injections in animals and during insulin treatment in man.
