Notes:
Summary Glucagon (1 mg) and glucose (60 ml of 50% solution) were infused over 60 min to three normal and one obese subjects and two insulinoma patients. Plasma C-peptide immunoreactivity (CPR) and immunoreactive insulin (IRI) increased during the infusion. Half time of CPR after cessation of the infusion was 20.1±4.0 min, and that of IRI 9.8±1.3 min, respectively. This difference partly explains the higher molar concentration in plasma of CPR than IRI.
