Effects of trypsin on glucose-induced insulin secretion from the perfused rat pancreas. 1976

T Toyota, and K Abe, and M Kudo, and Y Goto

The present study revealed that glucose-induced insulin secretion was significantly inhibited by perfusion with trypsin (10 mug/ml) in the isolated rat pancreas perfusion. However, when trypsin was interposed during perfusion of 16.6 mM glucose, glucose-induced insulin secretion was not suppressed during trypsin infusion. The insulin level was significantly lower in the trypsin treated animals than in the control after completion of trypsin infusion. The results suggest that trypsin does not attack the glucorecoptor bound with glucose but attacks the free glucoreceptor. Interestingly a biphasic pattern of glucose-induced insulin secretion disappeared by the pretreatment with trypsin. The possibility was suggested that tyrpsin prevented the initial binding of glucose to the B-cell.

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).

D007515 Islets of Langerhans Irregular microscopic structures consisting of cords of endocrine cells that are scattered throughout the PANCREAS among the exocrine acini. Each islet is surrounded by connective tissue fibers and penetrated by a network of capillaries. There are four major cell types. The most abundant beta cells (50-80%) secrete INSULIN. Alpha cells (5-20%) secrete GLUCAGON. PP cells (10-35%) secrete PANCREATIC POLYPEPTIDE. Delta cells (~5%) secrete SOMATOSTATIN.
