摘要：
The effects of tryptamine on plasma glucose and serum insulin levels were studied in mice. Tryptamine elicited dose-dependent hypoglycemia and hyperinsulinemia in intact mice. In streptozotocin-diabetic mice, tryptamine did not change plasma glucose nor serum insulin levels. Tryptamine significantly inhibited glucose-induced hyperglycemia and enhanced insulin release elicited by glucose. These results indicate that tryptamine-induced hypoglycemia is brought on by its releasing effects of insulin.
