Abstract

Blood glucose, glucose tolerance, serum insulin, free fatty acids in serum, plasma noradrenaline, and plasma adrenaline were measured in 10 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) as well as in healthy subjects. Both noradrenaline and adrenaline in plasma were elevated in patients with AMI, the level being fairly constant in the individual patients and dependent on their degree of illness.
