To elucidate the mechanism of hyperinsulinemia and hyperglucagonemia in liver diseases, secretion of insulin and glucagon from perfused pancreas and extraction of insulin and glucagon by perfused liver were investigated in carbon tetrachloride inhalated liver injury rats. Fasting plasma insulin and glucagon levels and insulin and glucagon levels after arginine injection (0.25 g/kg) in liver injury rats were significantly higher than those in control rats. Glucagon levels after glucose injection (0.5 g/kg) were slightly increased in the liver injury group. Insulin responses to 16.7 mM glucose and 10 mM arginine from perfused pancreas were similar in liver injury rats and control rats. Glucagon response to 10 mM arginine from perfused pancreas was also similar in liver injury rats and control rats. Insulin extraction by perfused liver in liver injury rats (45 +/- 9%) was significantly (P less than 0.05) lower than that (64 +/- 11%) in control rats, and glucagon extraction by perfused liver was also significantly (P less than 0.05) decreased in liver injury rats (57 +/- 8%) compared with controls (73 +/- 9%). It is concluded that in carbon tetrachloride-induced liver injury rats, hyperinsulinemia and hyperglucagonemia may be dependent on decreased insulin and glucagon extraction by the liver.

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.
