This study evaluates stimulated insulin production rate (incremental AUC x MCR (metabolic clearance rate) of C-peptide) and blood glucose (BG) response after i.v. administration of glimepiride (Hoe 490, GLI, CAS 93479-97-1) (0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, 1.50 mg) in healthy man (27 +/- 4 yrs). It was shown that i.v. bolus administration of GLI (0.25, 0.50, 1.25 and 1.50 mg) caused a dose-related rise in insulin production from 18 +/- 17 to 25 +/- 13, 36 +/- 14 and 54 +/- 34 pmol/kg body weight, respectively. This effect did not yet plateau at 1.5 mg GLI and was paralleled by a fall in BG (decremental area below BG baseline) by 40 +/- 36, 69 +/- 20, 161 +/- 47 and 113 +/- 62 mmol.min/l. It is concluded that insulin release is increased by i.v. GLI in a dose related manner, while a parallel decline in BG was induced only up to 1.25 mg GLI. The less marked fall of BG after injection of 1.50 mg GLI may reflect interference by insulin-counterregulatory hormones secondary to induced hypoglycaemia.
