A profile of plasma branched chain amino acids in a totally pancreatectomized patient: effects of glucagon replacement under a steady feeding state. 1987

Y Maki, and N Nunoi, and M Kikuchi, and M Fujishima

Physiological amounts of glucagon replacement brought about the reduction of plasma branched chain amino acid levels as well as glucogenic amino acid levels in a totally pancreatectomized patient who was under a steady feeding state, i.e., constant administration of an elemental diet combined with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion. This finding suggests that glucagon may play a physiological role not only on glucogenic amino acids but also branched chain amino acids in plasma in feeding state.

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.
