Amino acid transport in the exocrine pancreas. IV. Do glucagon or insulin mediate the in vivo effect of caerulein on amino acid transport and incorporation? 1979

W Bieger, and H Weicker, and A Haymovits

The direct in vitro effect of caerulein on pancreatic protein synthesis and amino acid transport has been investigated. In contrast to in vivo conditions we were unable to demonstrate any effect on alpha-aminoisobutyric acid and leucine uptake and on leucine incorporation usin rat pancreatic lobules. Insulin and glucagon were therefore examined as possible mediators for the in vivo effect of caerulein. Insulin (1--5 microM) slightly enhanced AIB uptake (16% but did not change uptake and incorporation of leucine. Glucagon (0.01--1 microM) was ineffective. Both islet hormones had no influence on the formation of cyclic GMP induced by secretagogue either in rat (40% increase) or in guinea pig lobules (500% increase). It seems unlikely that the two islet hormones exert any direct effect on the exocrine pancreas and thus could serve as mediators for the in vivo synthetic effect of caerulein.

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).

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.
D002108 Ceruletide A specific decapeptide obtained from the skin of Hila caerulea, an Australian amphibian. Caerulein is similar in action and composition to CHOLECYSTOKININ. It stimulates gastric, biliary, and pancreatic secretion; and certain smooth muscle. It is used in paralytic ileus and as diagnostic aid in pancreatic malfunction.

D002766 Cholecystokinin A peptide, of about 33 amino acids, secreted by the upper INTESTINAL MUCOSA and also found in the central nervous system. It causes gallbladder contraction, release of pancreatic exocrine (or digestive) enzymes, and affects other gastrointestinal functions. Cholecystokinin may be the mediator of satiety.

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.
