Improvement of Insulin Sensitivity after Adrenalectomy in Patients with Pheochromocytoma

Objective: Decreased insulin secretion is considered to be the main cause for pheochromocytoma-associated diabetes mellitus. Data from animal and evidence from clinical studies suggest that catecholamines can induce insulin resistance. However, there is no study investigating the effect of catecholamine excess on insulin resistance in patients with pheochromocytopma by the euglycemic hyperinsulinaemic clamp technique. Research Design and...
