  • Title: Some aspects of carbohydrate metabolism in Prader-Willi syndrome.
    Author: Sareen C, Ruvalcaba RH, Kelley VC.
    Journal: J Ment Defic Res; 1975 Jun; 19(2):113-9. PubMed ID: 1195356.
    Abstract:
    Three patients with Prader-Willi syndrome are reported. The subjects presented chemical diabetes mellitus. All patients were hypersentsiive to exogenous insulin and they showed poor adrenal medullary response to hypoglycaemics. It was postulated that the poor adrenal medullary response to the insulin injection may be a contributing factor in the excessive hypoglycaemic response, and that the diabetes mellitus observed in the patients could be due to inactivation of endogenous insulin.
