Dopaminergic agonist bromocriptin in treatment of diabetes mellitus type 2
Keyword(s):
Bromocriptine is a sympatholytic agonist of dopamine receptors, which is now proposed for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In animal studies bromocriptine elevates the decreased levels of dopamine in hypothalamus and blocks excessive sympathetic innervations in central nervous system that results in decrease of postprandial glucose. Bromocriptine decreases hepatic glucose production and increases insulin secretion and muscle insulin sensitivity. This article reviews experimental and clinical data on the use of bromocriptine for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus
