Insulin releasing activity of gastrointestinal glucagon-like immunoreactive materials in perfused rat pancreas. 1977

R Tanaka, and T Matsuyama, and K Shima, and N Sawazaki, and S Tarui, and Y Kumahara

Insulin-releasing activity of porcine gastrointestinal glucagon-like immunoreactive materials purified by affinity chromatography was examined in the perfused rat pancreas. When glucose concentration of the perfusate was raised from 60 to 100 mg/dl, augmented insulin release was observed. The mean incremental area of immunoreactive insulin (sigma delta IRI) during the first 10 min thus observed was 19.07 +/- 3.76 ng/10 min. Pancreatic glucagon and the extract from the gastric fundus showed the enhancement of insulin release in this system when they were added to the perfusate at the rate of 100 ng/min for 5 min; delta IRI were 41.92 +/- 8.47 and 71.70 +/- 18.09 ng/10 min, respectively, which were significantly higher than that of 100 mg/dl of glucose alone. However, no significant difference in the insulinogenic activity was noticed between the extracts from the small intestine and the control. These results suggest that the extract from the gastric fundus has insulinogenic activity similar to that of pancreatic glucagon.

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).

D007421 Intestine, Small The portion of the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT between the PYLORUS of the STOMACH and the ILEOCECAL VALVE of the LARGE INTESTINE. It is divisible into three portions: the DUODENUM, the JEJUNUM, and the ILEUM. Small Intestine,Intestines, Small,Small Intestines
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.
D010477 Perfusion Treatment process involving the injection of fluid into an organ or tissue. Perfusions
D002846 Chromatography, Affinity A chromatographic technique that utilizes the ability of biological molecules, often ANTIBODIES, to bind to certain ligands specifically and reversibly. It is used in protein biochemistry.

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.
