Intraportal islet autografting can restore near-normal glucose homeostasis in large diabetic animals, but the long-term failure rate of such grafts remains high. To assess the effect of the site of transplantation, we compared the hormonal responses to glucose (500 mg/kg i.v.) of intraportal (IP) and intrasplenic (IS) islet autografts in the cynomolgus monkey previously rendered diabetic by total pancreatectomy. Intravenous glucose tolerance tests (IVGTTs) 6 wk after IP grafting (n = 10) demonstrated nearly normal plasma glucose changes, with qualitatively normal but quantitatively reduced insulin and glucagon responses; only two animals have maintained these responses for greater than 2 yr. IVGTTs 6 wk after IS grafting (n = 4) demonstrated more abnormal plasma glucose changes, with qualitatively normal but weak insulin responses and glucagon levels that did not fall in response to hyperglycemia; only one animal has maintained fasting normoglycemia for greater than 9 mo. These results suggest that IS transplantation confers no benefit over IP transplantation in this model.

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).

D007515 Islets of Langerhans Irregular microscopic structures consisting of cords of endocrine cells that are scattered throughout the PANCREAS among the exocrine acini. Each islet is surrounded by connective tissue fibers and penetrated by a network of capillaries. There are four major cell types. The most abundant beta cells (50-80%) secrete INSULIN. Alpha cells (5-20%) secrete GLUCAGON. PP cells (10-35%) secrete PANCREATIC POLYPEPTIDE. Delta cells (~5%) secrete SOMATOSTATIN.

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.

D005951 Glucose Tolerance Test A test to determine the ability of an individual to maintain HOMEOSTASIS of BLOOD GLUCOSE. It includes measuring blood glucose levels in a fasting state, and at prescribed intervals before and after oral glucose intake (75 or 100 g) or intravenous infusion (0.5 g/kg).

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
