This investigation examined a potential mechanism for the inhibition of insulin release following an acute dose of hydrocortisone sodium succinate (HC). Hydrocortisone (300 mg/kg i.p.) elevated plasma glucose levels (P .ltoreq. 0.05) when administered to male Swiss-Webster mice, without altering plasma insulin levels. This results in a significantly lower insulinogenic index (P .ltoreq. 0.05). Hydrocortisone suppressed the glucose-stimulated insulin levels (P .ltoreq. 0.05) following an i.v. glucose challenge (2 g/kg) in both fed and fasted mice. Pretreatment with chlorisondamine and phentolamine did not alter the HC-induced hyperglycemia but did result in higher plasma insulin levels in response to the higher glucose levels. Adrenalectomy did not prevent the HC-depressed insulin response to hyperglycemia. An acute dose of HC may indirectly suppress insulin release by central activation of the sympathetic nerves at the pancreatic islets.
