Summary

In order to determine the influence of acute inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis on insulin release in man, the influence of lysine acetyl-salicylate (0.9 g) on glucose- and arginine-stimulated insulin release was studied in eight volunteers. No significant differences were found in plasma C-peptide levels between the salicylate and the control study days during administration of arginine (0.5 g/kg; 30 min) nor during a hyperglycemic clamp (glucose level 17 mMol/L; 60 minutes). These studies indicate that acute administration of salicylate does not change insulin release in man.
