Glucose Tolerance and Insulin Secretion in Patients with Chronic Duodenal Ulcer

C S Humphrey, J R W Dykes, D Johnston
PMCID: PMC1786696  PMID: 4637151

Abstract

An oral glucose tolerance test has been used to compare carbohydrate metabolism in patients suffering from chronic duodenal ulceration with that in a matched group of normal subjects. A significantly greater rise in blood glucose concentration was observed in the duodenal ulcer group, and this was associated with a significantly greater output of insulin. The reason for these findings may be an abnormal secretion of one or more of the small-bowel hormones.
