“Since lipolysis as well as re-esterification of FFA is accelerated by glucose, present data would indicate that chlorpropamide primarily interferes with the glucose metabolism or the stimulatory action of glucose on the two pathways of the triglyceride-FFA cycle.”
“We conclude that inhibition of endogenous glucose production during chronic chlorpropamide therapy is an important mechanism for the lowering of FPG and that enhanced insulin secretion is the reason for the major part of this inhibition.”
“The reductions in phosphorylase a activity after treatment with chlorpropamide were more than sufficient to explain the accompanying decreases in hepatic glucose production.”
“of chlorpropamide for four days decreased the ability of the dogs to dispose of a glucose load , and the deterioration in glucose tolerance was accompanied by a marked suppression of the plasma insulin response.”
