Abstract
The authors report a 73-year-old man with a jejunal carcinoid tumor and spontaneous hypoglycemia. Plasma insulin was suppressed (insulin/glucose ratio, 0.2), and nonsuppressible insulin-like proteins (NSILP) were elevated. Seven other patients with carcinoid or related tumors associated with hypoglycemia were found in the literature. Nonsuppressible insulin-like proteins were not measured in these patients.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
