Plasma glucagon levels in haemorrhagic shock. 1977

R C Russel, and B J Pardy, and M E Carruthers, and S R Bloom

Eleven healthy dogs were subjected to haemorrhagic shock for 90 min. after which shed blood was reinfused. Detailed studies were made of cardiopulmonary function. Samples of blood were taken at frequent intervals for the measurement of glucagon, insulin and glucose. Three dogs had samples taken for catecholamine levels. The glucagon level rose during haemorrhagic shock but there was no relationship between this rise and the change in cardiorespiratory measurement, but there was a relationship between the plasma glucagon level, the blood glucose and the catecholamine level. It is suggested that the release of glucagon in haemorrhagic shock is mediated by sympathetic stimulation of the alpha cell and that the rise in glucagon is in part responsible for the hyperglycaemia which is found in shock.

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).

D004285 Dogs The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, comprising about 400 breeds, of the carnivore family CANIDAE. They are worldwide in distribution and live in association with people. (Walker's Mammals of the World, 5th ed, p1065) Canis familiaris,Dog
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.
