Blunted epinephrine response following exercise in autonomic neuropathy

Blunted epinephrine response following exercise in autonomic neuropathy Diabetologia (1995) 38:1003-1005 Diabetologia 9 Springer-Verlag 1995 Letters to the editor Dear Sir, With interest we read that Bottini et al. [1] claim that the epinephrine response following exercise is blunted in diabetic patients with autonomic neuropathy featuring postural hypotension (DAN§ This might well be true; however, the workloadmax (% of predicted), the VO2max (% of predicted), and the maximal heart rate during exercise were lower in this group of patients (DAN+PH +) than in other groups. Hence, it is difficult to exclude a lower degree of sympathetic stimulation during exercise in DAN+PH + patients than in other subjects. Nevertheless, if we accept the conclusion of the authors, the study of Bottini et al. nicely confirms our previous finding published six years ago [2] of a blunted epinephrine response during exercise in diabetic patients with autonomic neuropathy.
