Abstract
Sulphonylurea drugs have been shown to augment glucose metabolism by both pancreatic and extrapancreatic actions. The regulation of glucose involves a modification of beta-endorphin secretions via central and peripheral mechanisms. beta-Endorphin participates in the regulation of feeding and is implicated both in obesity and diabetes mellitus. This study shows that glipizide could exert its pharmacological action in genetically diabetic (db/db) mice via beta-endorphin secretions by a central mechanism.
