Hyperglycaemic effect of glucagon administered intracerebroventricularly in the rat. 1985

S Marubashi, and M Tominaga, and T Katagiri, and K Yamatani, and Y Yawata, and M Hara, and H Sasaki

The intracerebroventricular (icv) administration of 100 ng glucagon resulted in more prolonged and pronounced elevations of plasma glucose levels than the intravenous injection of 100 ng glucagon. Insignificant changes in plasma IRI and IRG levels after icv glucagon administration contrasted to marked increases in both IRI and IRG levels after the iv injection. Icv glucagon-induced hyperglycaemia was completely prevented by the prior administration of atropine, phentolamine or hexamethonium, and partially inhibited by bilateral adrenalectomy, but not by propranolol pretreatment. These findings suggested that the hyperglycaemic effect is brought about through cholinergic and alpha-adrenergic neural pathways and partly via the adrenal medulla.

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).

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.
