Background: Our goal was to determine in healthy individuals and individuals with type 2 diabetes the impact of repeated episodes of hypoglycemia on the corrected QT (QTc) interval and the time course for QTc recovery. Further, since hypoglycemia increases aldosterone and patients with primary aldosteronism have prolonged QTc, we also determined whether mineralocorticoid receptor blockade prevents hypoglycemia-induced QTc alterations.

Methods: Twenty-seven healthy participants completed a double-blinded crossover trial contrasting 3 experimental conditions: 1) euglycemia, 2) hypoglycemia, and 3) hypoglycemia with mineralocorticoid receptor blockade pretreatment.

Here, we identify the PP1 family as the phosphatases that counteract kinase-mediated dissolution.
