Abstract
Gluconeogenesis in thyrotoxicosis was studied by oral glycerol-loading test and alanine-loading test performed on 5 normal subjects and 5 cases of thyrotoxicosis. The blood glucose levels in thyrotoxicosis rose after the administration of glycerol despite elevation of the plasma insulin levels. After alanine administration, the levels of IRI [immunoreactive insulin], pyruvate and lactate elevated in thyrotoxicosis. In normal subjects, the plasma levels of glucose, IRI, pyruvate or lactate did not change significantly after glycerol or alanine load.
