We previously reported that sulfonylurea treatment reduces insulin (IRI), glucagon (IRG) and somatostatin (SRIF) release following metabolic stimuli from the isolated perfused pancreas of normal rats and that a reduction in IRI, IRG and SRIF pancreatic content was also observed. The present work was undertaken to investigate the effects of long-term glibenclamide treatment on the gastrointestinal content of gut hormones in normal rats. Moreover, the effects of sulfonylurea treatment on IRI, IRG, and SRIF pancreatic content were also analyzed and compared to the peripheral hormone plasma levels. Two groups of male Sprague-Dawley rats received glibenclamide (1 mg/kg/day per os; n = 14) or placebo (distilled water; n = 10) for 5 months, respectively. Tissue contents of IRI, IRG and SRIF in acid-ethanol extracts of pancreas and of gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP), vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), entero-glucagon (gut-GLI) and SRIF in acid-ethanol extracts of intestine were determined. Blood glucose and plasma pancreatic hormone levels were also measured. Glibenclamide treatment lowered the levels of IRI, IRG and SRIF in the pancreatic tissue; in the same way gut-GLI, SRIF and VIP intestinal concentrations were significantly reduced, whereas no significant inhibition was detected in intestinal GIP content. Blood glucose levels and IRI and SRIF plasma concentrations were similar in the two groups. IRG plasma levels were reduced in the sulfonylurea group. These findings might suggest that sulfonylurea suppresses hormone biosynthesis in a non-specific manner.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.
