Glucose Intolerance with Hypokalemia: Failure of Short-term Potassium Depletion in Normal Subjects to Reproduce the Glucose and Insulin Abnormalities of Clinical Hypokalemia
Phillip Gorden
Diabetes ยท 1973
In plain language
In seven volunteers made experimentally potassium-depleted, glucose tolerance worsened mildly and recovered with repletion, indicating potassium depletion alone impairs glucose tolerance, while clinical hypokalemia's larger defects involve the underlying disease.
