Abstract
A patient with reactive hypoglycaemia showed hypersecretion of insulin in response to enteral beta-cell stimulation. Increased levels of gut glucagon-like immunoreactivity in serum were demonstrated by use of specific antisera. Other measurable hormones influencing carbohydrate metabolism were within normal limits. It is suggested that gut glucagon-like immunoreactivity may be of pathogenetic significance in reactive hypoglycaemia.
