| 1 | Exogenous insulin stimulates this disposal by enhancing potassium uptake into cells in hemodialysis (HD) patients and healthy subjects. | Potassium | insulin | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | In HD patients, the decrease in serum potassium levels was dependent on the increase in serum insulin levels and was more prominent when 150 g of glucose was administered. | Potassium | insulin | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | In HD patients, the decrease in serum potassium levels correlated negatively (r = -0.45; P < 0.001) with the increase in serum insulin levels, and maximal decrease in serum potassium levels correlated negatively (r = -0.54; P < 0.001) with maximal increase in serum insulin levels. | Potassium | insulin | Homo sapiens |
| 4 | In HD patients, the decrease in serum potassium levels correlated negatively (r = -0.45; P < 0.001) with the increase in serum insulin levels, and maximal decrease in serum potassium levels correlated negatively (r = -0.54; P < 0.001) with maximal increase in serum insulin levels. | Potassium | insulin | Homo sapiens |
| 5 | CONCLUSION: Endogenous production of physiological concentrations of insulin in response to exogenous glucose administration decreases serum potassium levels only in HD patients, independently of plasma aldosterone and epinephrine levels. | Potassium | insulin | Homo sapiens |
