2-Deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG)-induced increase in gastric acid secretion is impaired in capsaicin-pretreated rats. 1991

This study investigated the increase in gastric acid secretion induced by intravenous administration of 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG; 60 mg kg-1), insulin (5 U kg-1) or by electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve (1 mA, 1 ms, 3 Hz) in urethane-anesthetized rats pretreated when newborn with either capsaicin or the vehicle. The secretory response to 2-DG was substantially reduced in the capsaicin pretreated rats, while those induced by electrical vagal stimulation or insulin were unaffected. These findings suggest that capsaicin-sensitive fibers are involved in the afferent branch of the reflex response activated by 2-DG to stimulate gastric acid secretion.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007328	Insulin	A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).
