Antagonism of M3 muscarinic receptors (antaM3) has been related to the development of hyperglycemia.
Recent exposure to antidepressants with antaM3 activity was associated with an increased risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus in the adult population, but exposure to antidepressants without antaM3 was not.
This association was dose dependent and more pronounced in patients who were in the younger age group (<45 years old), were female and had no co-morbidity.
