Insulin Secretion in Malignant Hyperpyrexia

PMCID: PMC1611244  PMID: 4413915

Abstract

An increased glucose-induced insulin response has been observed in patients susceptible to malignant hyperpyrexia. This raises the possibility that the membrane abnormality present in the calcium-storing membranes in the muscle cell in malignant hyperpyrexia may be present also in the beta cell of the pancreas.
