The effect of islet amyloid polypeptide (amylin) and calcitonin gene-related peptide on glucose removal in the anaesthetized rat and on insulin secretion from rat pancreatic islets in vitro. 1990
Nuffield Department of Clinical Medicine, Radcliffe Infirmary, Oxford, UK.
The effect of intravenous infusion of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP/amylin) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) on blood glucose and plasma insulin in the basal and glucose-stimulated state was investigated in the anaesthetized rat. Both peptides had no effect on basal blood glucose or plasma insulin but following an intravenous bolus of glucose, CGRP-treated rats were hyperglycaemic and hyperinsulinaemic compared with control animals which were similar to IAPP-treated rats. IAPP had no effect on glucose-stimulated islet insulin secretion. These results suggest that CGRP, but not IAPP, alters glucose removal in vivo.
