Abstract

Whether adrenergic input to islets is necessary for glucose homeostasis in humans is debated. Here, the adrenergic contribution to intrahepatically transplanted islet cell responses to hypoglycemia in individuals with type 1 diabetes was investigated through α- or β-adrenergic receptor blockade during hyperinsulinemic euglycemic-hypoglycemic clamps. Neither α- nor β-adrenergic blockage affected the suppression of endogenous insulin or activation of glucagon secretion, suggesting that sympathetic reinnervation of islet grafts is not required for posttransplant defense against hypoglycemia.
