ResumoBy a t-test for paired observations the influence of ritodrine, a P-sympathicomimetic drug which is administcrcd as a tocolytic, on the blood glucose concentrations and the insulin secretion of women in their last 3 months of pregnancy, whose metabolism was normal, was demonstrated by means of the oral glucose tolerance test.Upon administration of ritodrine, the insulin levels as well as the mean glucose values significantly exceed the results obtained from the standard glucose tolerance test.In 12 out of 21 patients abnormally high blood glucose levels were encountered following additional administration of ritodrine.ritodrine; fi-mimetics, glucose tolerance test; insulin
