Anomeric specificity in the response of gut glucagon-like immunoreactive materials to glucose. 1979

T Matsuyama, and R Tanaka, and K Shima, and S Tarui

An anomeric specificity of the glucose sensors of A cells and B cells of the pancreas has been reported. In this context the present authors investigated, using the canine intestinal loop prepared from the terminal portion of the ileum, how glucagon-like immunoreactive materials (GLI) of the gut would respond to glucose anomers in an attempt to explore a possible anomeric specificity of glucose-stimulated gut GLI secretion. As a result GLI was found to be more readily released into the blood stream after an intestinal alpha-glucose load than following beta-gluocse during a 15-minute observation period. It is thus suggested that gut GLI-secreting cells have glucose sensors similar to those of pancreatic A or B cells which are specific for the alpha-glucose anomer.

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. Radioimmunoassays
D004285 Dogs The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, comprising about 400 breeds, of the carnivore family CANIDAE. They are worldwide in distribution and live in association with people. (Walker's Mammals of the World, 5th ed, p1065) Canis familiaris,Dog
D005260 Female Females
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.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
