The effects of glucagon and insulin on adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate concentrations in an organ culture of mature rat liver. 1973

K Siddle, and B Kane-Maguire, and A K Campbell

1. A modified radioimmunoassay for cyclic AMP was developed from the method of Steiner et al. (1969). Cyclic [(3)H]AMP was used as the radioactive tracer. Free and antibody-bound nucleotides were separated by adsorption of protein to Millipore filters. The assay was used to measure amounts of cyclic AMP down to 0.1pmol in 50mul. 2. The effect of glucagon on cyclic AMP content in pieces of mature rat liver maintained for 6 days in organ culture was studied. 3. Cyclic AMP content in the tissue reached a maximum in 5-15min and then decreased. This may have been partly due to an inhibitor of glucagon action formed in the tissue. Small amounts of cyclic AMP were released into the incubation medium. 4. The maximal increase in cyclic AMP content produced by glucagon decreased over 6 days in culture. However, liver pieces cultured for 2 and 6 days were more sensitive to low concentrations of glucagon than were fresh liver pieces. Glucagon concentrations for half-maximal effects were approx. 1mum and 0.05mum for fresh liver and 2-day cultured liver respectively. 5. Insulin (3.5mum) lowered the cyclic AMP content by 30% in the presence of a submaximal glucagon concentration in liver cultured for 2 days. No effect of insulin was demonstrated on fresh liver pieces. 6. Insulin and glucagon were rapidly destroyed by fresh liver pieces.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007106 Immune Sera Serum that contains antibodies. It is obtained from an animal that has been immunized either by ANTIGEN injection or infection with microorganisms containing the antigen. Antisera,Immune Serums,Sera, Immune,Serums, Immune
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).

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation.

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.
