Abstract:Abstract-Effectsof BCG cells on blood insulin, glucose, glycerol and free fatty acid (FFA), and liver glycogen were examined in rats in vivo. Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) was used as a solution containing BCG cells. Insulin secretion and lactate production by isoproterenol were enhanced by FCA injection.Hyperglycemia induced by epinephrine was somewhat attenuated by treating rats with FCA. The increment of plasma FFA by isoproterenol was smaller in FCA-injected rats than that in control rats. The amount of… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
