Effect of alcohol on the plasma cAMP response to glucagon. 1979

S W French, and T J Ihrig, and N B Pettit

Prior studies indicated that acute ethanol feeding induced a decrease in adrenergic sensitivity as measured by the plasma cAMP response to isoproterenol. In this report we show that two hours after acute ethanol ingestion the plasma cyclic AMP levels were increased 8.5 fold 6 minutes after glucagon injection. Saline controls showed a 35 fold increase in plasma cAMP levels after glucagon injection. It is suggested that the decreased response caused by ethanol may be due to a decrease in the sensitivity of glucagon receptors.

D005934 Glucagon A 29-amino acid pancreatic peptide derived from proglucagon which is also the precursor of intestinal GLUCAGON-LIKE PEPTIDES. Glucagon is secreted by PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS and plays an important role in regulation of BLOOD GLUCOSE concentration, ketone metabolism, and several other biochemical and physiological processes.

D000242 Cyclic AMP An adenine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to both the 3'- and 5'-positions of the sugar moiety. It is a second messenger and a key intracellular regulator, functioning as a mediator of activity for a number of hormones, including epinephrine, glucagon, and ACTH.

D000431 Ethanol A clear, colorless liquid rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and distributed throughout the body. It has bactericidal activity and is used often as a topical disinfectant. It is widely used as a solvent and preservative in pharmaceutical preparations as well as serving as the primary ingredient in ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES.
