Interaction of secretin and glucagon on exocrine pancreatic secretion. 1979

Y Horiguchi

Inhibition of secretin-stimulated pancreatic secretion by glucagon was studied in anesthetized dogs. Two external pancreatic fistulas were prepared in dogs for both simultaneous and separate collection of pancreatic juice secreted by the right and left lobes. Two series of experiments were preformed. In the first, graded doses of glucagon (2.5 to 20 micrograms/kg/hr) were administered against a background infusion of 2 CHR U/kg/hr of secretin. In the second, a constant dose of glucagon (20 micrograms/kg/hr) was given against a background infusion of secretin doubling from 1 to 8 U/kg/hr. Infusion of glucagon was started when flow rate became nearly constant, and continued for 60 minutes in each dose. Glucagon produced the dose-related reduction in flow rate and bicarbonate secretion, but not in amylase secretion. This inhibitory effect was almost the same in size between the right and left lobes. No significant change of plasma secretin was observed during glucagon infusion. Michealis-Menten analysis of the dose in slopes (Km) and similar intercepts of Y-axis (CMR). These results suggest that glucagon inhibits competitively secretin-stimulated pancreatic secretion by acting probably on the same receptor as secretin.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010179 Pancreas A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.

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.

D001639 Bicarbonates Inorganic salts that contain the -HCO3 radical. They are an important factor in determining the pH of the blood and the concentration of bicarbonate ions is regulated by the kidney.
