and increases glucose levels in humans, and that ADRA2A variation<br />

modifies these effects.<br />

METHODS: Healthy Caucasians (n=28) and African-Americans<br />

(n=32), aged 18-45 years, received 3 sequential infusions of placebo<br />

at 30 minute intervals followed by 3 infusions of DEX (0.1, 0.15, and<br />

0.15 mcg/kg). We measured serum insulin and glucose concentrations<br />

and genotyped for ADRA2A rs553668 and rs2484516 that characterize<br />

haplotypes 4 and 4b, respectively.<br />

RESULTS: DEX decreased insulin concentrations by 27% from<br />

8.4±6.1 μU/mL to 6.1±3.9 μU/mL (P
