Pretreatment of intact rats with theophylline has been shown to potentiate 3', 5'-AMP-induced hyperglycemia. Administration of 1.0 mg/kg of the cyclic nucleotide, a dose insufficient to cause elevation of blood glucose, has been shown to cause significant hyperglycemia following pretreatment with theophylline (75 mg/kg).
Epinephrine and 3', 5'-AMP-induced hyperglycemia are prevented by pretreatment with the adrenergic blocking agent, dihydroergotamine (DHE) (5.6 mg/kg). Hyperglycemia in response to 3', 5'-AMP treatment occurred in adrenalectomized rats and this response could also be blocked by pretreatment with DHE.
Dichloroisoproterenol (DCI), a beta adrenergic blocking agent, in a dose of 100 mg/kg, decreased epinephrine-induced hyperglycemia by about 90% but had no effect on 3', 5'-AMP-induced hyperglycemia.
