phentolamine and Insulin Resistance

phentolamine has been researched along with Insulin Resistance in 9 studies

Phentolamine: A nonselective alpha-adrenergic antagonist. It is used in the treatment of hypertension and hypertensive emergencies, pheochromocytoma, vasospasm of RAYNAUD DISEASE and frostbite, clonidine withdrawal syndrome, impotence, and peripheral vascular disease.
phentolamine : A substituted aniline that is 3-aminophenol in which the hydrogens of the amino group are replaced by 4-methylphenyl and 4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-ylmethyl groups respectively. An alpha-adrenergic antagonist, it is used for the treatment of hypertension.

Insulin Resistance: Diminished effectiveness of INSULIN in lowering blood sugar levels: requiring the use of 200 units or more of insulin per day to prevent HYPERGLYCEMIA or KETOSIS.

" Phentolamine, which had no effect in the wild-type mice, normalised the insulin sensitivity in the mice lacking the nNOS gene."3.74Insulin resistance in mice lacking neuronal nitric oxide synthase is related to an alpha-adrenergic mechanism. ( Burcelin, R; Cook, S; Jayet, PY; Mathieu, C; Nicod, P; Sartori, C; Scherrer, U; Thalmann, S; Turini, P; Vollenweider, P, 2007)
" To test the role of the adrenergic system, alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptor antagonists, phentolamine and propranolol, were tested for the ability to block HDIR produced by hemorrhage."3.73Hemorrhage results in hepatic insulin-sensitizing substance-dependent insulin resistance mediated by somatostatin in rats. ( Lautt, WW; Seredycz, LI, 2006)
"The isoproterenol-induced increase in EGC was higher after the training."2.71Dynamic strength training improves insulin sensitivity and functional balance between adrenergic alpha 2A and beta pathways in subcutaneous adipose tissue of obese subjects. ( Berlan, M; Hejnova, J; Klimcakova, E; Lafontan, M; Langin, D; Majercik, M; Moro, C; Polak, J; Stich, V; Viguerie, N, 2005)
"Propranolol was also able to ameliorate the hepatic insulin resistance produced by TNF."1.29Beta-adrenergic blockade attenuates insulin resistance induced by tumor necrosis factor. ( Lang, CH, 1993)
" Dose-response curves for phentolamine and propranolol established maximally effective doses (3."1.28Influence of sympatho-adrenal system on insulin sensitivity using the euglycemic clamp technique. ( Funado, T; Iguchi, A; Iida, T; Kato, K; Kusunoki, M; Oshida, Y; Sakamoto, N; Sato, Y; Suga, T, 1992)
