Beta-blockers have various effects on glucose metabolism, but these are usually too small to be of clinical significance (288,289). However, beta-blockers can block the adrenergic symptoms of hypoglycemia. 

In contrast to its effects on glucose metabolism, tacrolimus offers potential advantages over ciclosporin for lipid disorders (1101). Compared with ciclosporin-based immunosuppressive regimens, total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol serum concentrations were lower in patients taking tacrolimus for 1 year (1102). Both findings were considered to result from a significant glucocorticoidsparing effect of tacrolimus.

In conclusion, at least two anorectic agents have effects on glucose metabolism independent of their abilities to induce weight loss. Whether these, or related, agents may be useful hypoglycaemic agents merits further consideration. 

Corticosteroids traditionally are divided into mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids according to their relative potencies in Na retention and effects on carbohydrate metabolism i.e., hepatic deposition of glycogen and gluconeogenesis) In general, potencies of steroids to sustain life in adrenalectomized animals closely parallel their mineralocorticoid activity, while potencies as antiinflammatory agents closely parallel their effects on glucose metabolism. The effects on Na" retention and the carbohydrate/anti-inflammatory actions are not closely related and reflect selective actions at distinct receptors. 

Insufficient sleep can lead to excessive sleepiness, negative mood changes, reduced performance on standardized tasks, increased accident risk, and acute negative effects on glucose metabolism and immune function. 

The naturally occurring amino acid L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-dopa) was first synthesized as D,L-racemate. D,L-dopa exerted significant effects on glucose metabolism and arterial blood pressure. It has also been found to be effective against Parkinson s disease.
