A single dose 0.2 U/kg b.w. of insulin was administrated after an hour of infusion of pentagastrin 2 micrograms/kg b.w. for 6 healthy volunteers aged about 27 (22-30); the investigation was carried out for 1.5 h. The control group consisted of 6 health volunteers aged about 27 (21-36) which were administrated infusion of pentagastrin. While applicating stimuli the gastric juice was aspirated for analysis. In 15-minutes fraction of gastric juice the volume, concentration and output of hydrochloric acid, pepsin, protein and carbohydrates components of gastric mucus: hexoses, hexosamine, fucose and sialic acid were measured. It was stated that insulin decreases gastric secretion stimulated by pentagastrin in two first 15-minutes fractions after administration of insulin dependently on decrease of gastric juice volume. Insulin-hypoglycemia is a stimulus decreasing gastric mucus secretion, stimulated by pentagastrin. On this ground the conclusion can be arrived, that pentagastrin evokes the mechanism decreasing gastric mucus secretion, probably adrenergic. Insulin does not change hydrochloric acid secretion, but it appears to be en extremely strong stimulus for pepsin secretion which proves hypothesis, that secretion of this enzyme is regulated mainly by vagus.

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).

D008297 Male Males
D010418 Pentagastrin A synthetic pentapeptide that has effects like gastrin when given parenterally. It stimulates the secretion of gastric acid, pepsin, and intrinsic factor, and has been used as a diagnostic aid. Acignost,Gastrin Pentapeptide,Peptavlon,Pentapeptide, Gastrin
D010434 Pepsin A Formed from pig pepsinogen by cleavage of one peptide bond. The enzyme is a single polypeptide chain and is inhibited by methyl 2-diaazoacetamidohexanoate. It cleaves peptides preferentially at the carbonyl linkages of phenylalanine or leucine and acts as the principal digestive enzyme of gastric juice. Pepsin,Pepsin 1,Pepsin 3
