Abstract
We have documented significant elevations in fasting urinary cAMP levels in a homogenous group of young insulin-dependent diabetic subjects. Since cAMP acts as a critical mediator of cellular responses to glucagon and catecholamines (namely glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, and lipolysis), its role in diabetes mellitus may be of particular importance. Whether the observed abnormality is related to elevated hormone stimulators or the result of altered cellular responsiveness has not been determined.
