摘要
A calcium infusion (4 mg Ca++/kg/hr) significantly increased plasma insulin levels and reduced blood glucose in 4 patients with insulin-secreting pancreatic islet cell tumors. These parameters were not altered by a similar infusion of calcium in normal volunteers, 2 patients with alimentary hypoglycemia, and 2 with functional hypoglycemia. No difference in response was observed between patients with benign and malignant β-cell tumors. Infusion of diazoxide (600 mg) with calcium blocked the stimulation of the latter on insulin secretion. The results indicate the usefulness of calcium infusion in the diagnosis of insulin-secreting tumor. © 1979.
