Possible Interaction: Atenolol and Glucose

“However, their effects on glucose metabolism were significantly (p < 0.05) different: The area under the curve (AUC) of glucose in the iv GTT increased 26.8% during atenolol treatment but decreased 30% during bunazosin treatment.”

“The glucose and insulin levels and glucose x insulin product at 2 hours after the glucose load increased after 12 weeks of treatment with atenolol compared with the baseline values, but these parameters all decreased after the treatment period with captopril compared with their baseline values.”

“ Atenolol increased the plasma level of glucose at rest but did not influence the rise in plasma glucose during exercise.”

“Treatment of cells with carvedilol, atenolol , and propranolol decreased levels of all 3 cytokines in cells exposed to either 5.5 or 27.5 mM dextrose.”
