[Intravenous and oral glucose: production of insulin and growth hormone in the newborn infant]. 1976

Insulin production in response to intravenous and high and low oral glucose administration was investigated in 15 healthy fasting newborns. Results show that in spite of the fact that the highest blood glucose was obtained by the intravenous load, the highest insulin levels corresponded to the high oral glucose. The lowest blood glucose levels were found in the cases who received the low oral doses. The amounts of circulating insulin in this group were not significantly different from those in the group with I.V. glucose. In two of the groups where growth hormone was measured, the known paradoxixal increase in response to administered glucose was observed.

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).

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.
D010902 Pituitary Gland A small, unpaired gland situated in the SELLA TURCICA. It is connected to the HYPOTHALAMUS by a short stalk which is called the INFUNDIBULUM.
