However, it can be speculated that, being a member of the MAOI group, albeit quite selective, rasagiline may cause hypoglycemia owing to the same pathophysiological mechanism previously described for MAOIs (i.e., rasagiline): that it causes increased serotonergic effects that result in hypoglycemia by enhancing insulin sensitivity, insulin release, and decreased gluconeogenesis. The gene discussed is INS; the disease is Hypoglycemia.
