“Maximum cephalad spread of analgesia was significantly greater with tetracaine in 8% glucose compared to the other three groups (tetracaine/5% glucose, bupivacaine/5 or 8% glucose) (P less than 0.05).”

“2 Tetracaine (1 mM) markedly enhanced the 45Ca2+ net uptake (120 min) in the presence of 3 mM glucose , and at 7 and 20 mM glucose there were clear tendencies to dose‐dependent increases with 0.1 to 1 mM tetracaine.”
“4 Tetracaine (0.5 mM) stimulated the 45Ca2+ efflux in the presence of 3 mM glucose.”
“ Tetracaine (0.5%) in the hypertonic preloads blocked 80% of the satiety effects of the glucose and NaCl preloads, but had no effect on sorbitol satiety effect.”
