Abstract
The alkaloid, solanine, increased blood sugar level in intact rats. This hyperglycemia was prevented by pretreatment with either adrenergic blockers or reserplne, not with chlorpromazine. Inhibition of peripheral utilization of glucose was observed in glucose tolerance tests. Hypoglycemia was found in adrenalcctomized rats. There was considerable sex difference in solanine induced hyperglycemia. These phenomena were found only with intraperitoneal administration.
