Inhibitory mechanisms of insulin secretion associated with hypothermic open-heart surgery. 1981

H Shida, and M Morimoto, and K Inokawa, and Y Ikeda

In order to clarify the inhibitory mechanism of insulin secretion associated with open-heart surgery, the influence of insulin antagonistic hormones on insulin secretion was studied in 20 patients with congenital heart diseases undergoing open-heart surgery, under simple deep hypothermia. Despite a hyperglycemia, plasma immunoreactive insulin and C-peptide showed no change during the cooling period, while with the exception of plasma human growth hormone, dopamine-beta-hydroxylase, immunoreactive glucagon, cortisol and cyclic AMP in plasma, either showed no change, or a decrease during the cooling period. It is assumed that catecholamine, glucocorticoid and glucagon do not play an important role in the inhibitory mechanism of insulin secretion during hypothermic open-heart surgery, and a transient hypofunction of the pancreas as well as the liver and the adrenal gland is probably involved.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007036	Hypothermia, Induced	Abnormally low BODY TEMPERATURE that is intentionally induced in warm-blooded animals by artificial means. In humans, mild or moderate hypothermia has been used to reduce tissue damages, particularly after cardiac or spinal cord injuries and during subsequent surgeries.

D007223	Infant	A child between 1 and 23 months of age.	Infants
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).

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.
