Abstract
Summary
Serial, apparently basal radio-immunoassayable plasma insulin and growth-hormone values were obtained when fast-knockdown ether anesthesia was used. Radioimmunoassayable prolactin was elevated at the second, third, and fourth bleedings but cause no apparent increase in circulating insulin levels. The elevation in plasma glucose may also have been a transient effect of sympathetic stimulation which simultaneously inhibited insulin release.
