Although serotonin, serotonin uptake inhibitors and serotonin precursors (including
tryptophan or 5-hydroxytryptophan) are known to have hypoglycemic action in rodents or …

The diabetogenic effects of streptozotocin (STZ) were studied on blood glucose, plasma
insulin, feeding and drinking, body weight, islet morphology, and hypothalamic serotonin (5 …

Insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis is implicated through serotonergic function.
Pyridoxine is involved in decarboxylation step in synthesis of serotonin. The present study …

The role of β‐endorphin in the plasma glucose‐lowering action of tetrandrine in
streptozotocin‐induced diabetic rats (STZ‐diabetic rats) was investigated. The plasma …

The effect of β-endorphin on plasma glucose levels was investigated in streptozotocin-
induced diabetic rats (STZ-diabetic rats). A dose-dependent lowering of plasma glucose was …

The present study was conducted to examine whether experimental diabetes (streptozotocin-
induced) promotes changes in serotonin (5HT) measures of peripheral tissue. Platelet-free …

We investigated the mechanism (s) by which isoferulic acid lowers plasma glucose levels in
streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats (STZ-diabetic rats). In STZ-diabetic rats, isoferulic acid …

Effects of serotonin (5-HT) on plasma glucose and serum insulin levels were studied in mice.
In normal mice, 5-HT induced a dose-dependent hypo glycemia and an increase in serum …

Aims: We investigated the mechanism (s) by which valsartan, a selective antagonist of
angiotensin subtype 1 (AT1) receptor, decreased plasma glucose in streptozotocin (STZ) …

This study evaluated the effect of human β-endorphin on pancreatic hormone levels and
their responses to nutrient challenges in normal subjects. Infusion of 0.5 mg/h β-endorphin …
