Serum DBH unchanged during insulin hypoglycemia; leaves open its utility as an adrenomedullary marker and requires validation in larger cohorts.
Does intravenous administration of regular insulin alter serum dopamine-beta-hydroxylase (DBH) activity in healthy young male and female volunteers?
Serum DBH activity does not significantly change during insulin-induced hypoglycemia, questioning its utility as a marker for adrenomedullary function.
NISULA et al. (1978) studied this question.
