Islet-cell dysfunction induced by glucocorticoid treatment: potential role for altered sympathovagal balance?
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › peer-review
Glucocorticoids impair glucose tolerance by inducing insulin resistance. We investigated the dose-dependent effects of glucocorticoid treatment on islet-cell function in healthy males and studied the role of the autonomic nervous system.
