The effect of glucagon on the blood levels of gastrin, insulin and glucose in patients with gastric and duodenal ulcers. 1979

W Tkaczewski, and J Chojnacki, and Z Bogoniowska

The blood serum levels of gastrin and insulin and arterial blood levels of glucose were determined immediately before intravenous injection of 1 mg of glucagon, and 10, 20, 40 and 60 minutes later in 12 gastric ulcer patients, 14 duodenal ulcer patients and 12 controls using the radioimmunological and orthotoluidine methods respectively. Following glucagon administration the gastrin levels dropped in the controls and the gastrin patients, and increased in the duodenal patients by an average of 30%. Insulin levels increased in all three groups, but the increase was statistically significant in the two patients groups. Glucose levels in the blood also increased with no significant differences between the groups. It is suggested that the different effect of glucagon on gastrin levels may be due to gastrin-insulin interaction; the levels of the two hormones in the blood of duodenal patients were higher than in the other two groups studied.

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).

D005755 Gastrins A family of gastrointestinal peptide hormones that excite the secretion of GASTRIC JUICE. They may also occur in the central nervous system where they are presumed to be neurotransmitters. Gastrin
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.
