Abstract:	Studies in fasted, anaesthetized rats have shown that adrenaline and nicotine-induced hyperglycaemia is mediated via activation of p-adrenoccptors. The hyperglycaemic response to nicotine is different from that of adrenaline in that, unlike adrenaline hyperglycaemia , nicotine hyperglycaemia is characterized by a long latent period, delayed attainment of peak of response and sustained hyperglycaemia throughout the 120 minutes post-injection observation. Comparison with previous studies in dogs showed that different receptors are involved in nicotine hyperglycacmia in fasted dogs and fasted rats.
