Perivascular nerve stimulation of rat livers perfused in situ with erythrocyte-free Krebs-Henseleit buffer at constant pressure in a non-recirculating system resulted in an increase of glucose and lactate production and in a decrease of portal flow. Infusion of somatostatin in different concentrations (2 × 10−7, 10−8, 10−9 mol·l−1) reduced the nerve-mediated activation of glucose release maximally to 66%. There was only a slight effect on the lactate output, the nerve-mediated reduction of portal flow was unaltered. In controls, somatostatin alone had no effect on the metabolic and hemodynamic parameters. In order to differentiate between a presynaptic and postsynaptic mechanism, the noradrenaline overflow was calculated. The unaltered release of the neurotransmitter in the presence or absence of somatostatin excluded a presynaptic mechanism. To mimic the nerve effects on the carbohydrate metabolism and on the hemodynamics, noradrenaline (2 × 10−7 mol·l−1) was infused instead of the nerve stimulation over a period of 5 min. Somatostatin did not change the endocrine effects of the catecholamine under these conditions. The nerve-dependent effect of somatostatin suggests that other neurotransmitters (e.g. VIP) or mediators (e.g. prostanoids) may be influenced by somatostatin.  相似文献

In order to elucidate the effect of glucagon antiserum on the endocrine pancreas, the release of somatostatin, glucagon, and insulin from the isolated perfused rat pancreas was studied following the infusion of arginine both with and without pretreatment by glucagon antiserum. Various concentrations of arginine in the presence of 5.5 mM glucose stimulated both somatostatin and glucagon secretion. However, the responses of somatostatin and glucagon were different at different doses of arginine. The infusion of glucagon antiserum strongly stimulated basal secretion in the perfusate total glucagon (free + antibody bound glucagon) and also enhanced its response to arginine, but free glucagon was undetectable in the perfusate during the infusion. On the other hand, the glucagon antiserum had no significant effect on either insulin or somatostatin secretion. Moreover, electron microscopic study revealed degrannulation and vacuolization in the cytoplasm of the A cells after exposure to glucagon antiserum, suggesting a hypersecretion of glucagon, but no significant change was found in the B cells or the D cells. We conclude that in a single pass perfusion system glucagon antiserum does not affect somatostatin or insulin secretion, although it enhances glucagon secretion.  相似文献

Marked stimulation of glucagon release and modest stimulation of insulin release were observed during in situ perfusion of the rat pancreas with AVP or OT. Glucagon release in response to AVP or OT (200 pg/ml) gradually increased over a 45 min perfusion period reaching maxima of 500% and 300% of the pre-stimulatory levels, respectively. Insulin release transiently increased by 100%. In each case release rates returned to control values immediately after withdrawal of the peptides. Total glucagon release was concentration dependent and linear from 20 pg to 20 ng AVP or OT/ml (r greater than .97). Pancreatic response to DDAVP perfused at 20 ng/ml was virtually indistinguishable from that induced by AVP at 200 pg/ml. This demonstration of a glucagonotrophic action of the neurohypophysial hormones in the in situ perfused rat pancreas confirms earlier studies using isolated islets and bolus IV injection.  相似文献

A rapid capillary electrophoresis (CE) with laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) competitive immunoassay has been developed for the determination of glucagon in biological mixtures. In the assay, fluorescein-conjugated glucagon is mixed with the sample followed by addition of anti-glucagon. Free and antibody-bound, tagged glucagon could be separated in 3 s using CE to obtain quantitative determination of glucagon with a concentration detection limit of 760 pM. The assay was combined with a previously developed competitive immunoassay for insulin to produce a simultaneous immunoassay for both peptides. The method was used to determine glucagon content of islets of Langerhans.  相似文献

We have utilized the relative structural simplicity of several short, cyclic, highly active somatostatin analogs in the search for competitive antagonists of somatostatin. During an attempted synthesis of cyclo(7-aminoheptanoyl-Phe-D-Trp-Lys-Thr), catalytic hydrogenation of the protected peptide intermediate unexpectedly gave cyclo [7-aminoheptanoyl-Phe-D-Trp-Lys-Thr(Bzl)] in which the benzyl protecting group on Thr could not be removed even upon prolonged treatment under standard conditions. Injection of this new peptide into the rat completely blocked the inhibitory effects of exogenous somatostatin on GH, insulin, and glucagon release. Indeed, in fasted rats, basal hepatic portal insulin and glucagon levels were significantly increased after analog treatment. Plasma GH levels in Nembutal-anesthetized and stimulated rats were also increased after injection of the analog. These results provide strong evidence that endogenous somatostatin exerts local tonic control of pituitary and pancreatic secretions. The availability of a somatostatin anatagonist should be of considerable value in elucidating the roles of somatostatin in these and many other physiological processes.  相似文献

A low concentration (10(-11) mol/l) of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and/or an equimolar (10(-14) mol/l) mixture of glucagon and insulin stimulated DNA synthesis in hepatocytes in 4-day-old primary cultures of neonatal rat liver. EGF seems to have acted by inducing quiescent hepatocytes to begin cycling, while the glucagon-insulin combination seems to have acted mainly by shortening the cell cycle time. Incubation in low calcium medium blocked untreated hepatocytes in the G1 phase of their cycle and prevented EGF and the glucagon-insulin mixture from stimulating DNA synthesis. Nevertheless, hepatocytes in calcium-deficient medium did respond to these agents, as they reached a late stage of prereplicative development before being blocked: in fact, they initiated DNA synthesis soon after the addition of calcium. EGF, but not the glucagon-insulin combination, also enabled the already cycling hepatocytes (but not the newly activated ones) to overcome the block imposed by the extracellular calcium deficiency after a delay of several hours.  相似文献

Rat liver was perfused in situ via the portal vein without recirculation: 1) Nerve stimulation (20 Hz, 2 ms, 20 V) increased glucose output and shifted lactate uptake to output; the alterations were diminished by oleate but not octanoate. 2) Glucagon (1nM) stimulated glucose output maximally also in the presence of the fatty acids, so that nerve stimulation could not increase it further. The hormone also enhanced lactate uptake and nerve stimulation counteracted this effect. The counteraction was diminished by oleate but not octanoate. 3) Insulin (100nM) slightly lowered glucose output and had no effect on lactate balance. It antagonized the increase of glucose output by nerve stimulation, but left the shift of lactate uptake to release unaffected. These events were not influenced by the fatty acids. 4) Nerve stimulation decreased ketone body production from oleate and octanoate. 5) Glucagon increased ketogenesis from oleate, but not octanoate. In the presence of glucagon nerve stimulation also lowered ketogenesis. This decrease was diminished in the presence of oleate. 6) Insulin lowered ketogenesis from oleate but not octanoate. In the presence of insulin nerve stimulation decreased ketogenesis; the relative change was independent of the fatty acids. The complex interactions between fatty acids, glucagon and insulin in the modulation of sympathetic nerve actions can be summarized as follows: Oleate, which enters the mitochondria via the carnitine system, but not octanoate, which enters independently from this system, as well as insulin but not glucagon effectively modulated the nerve actions on carbohydrate metabolism. Glucagon but not insulin modulated the nerve effects on ketogenesis from oleate but not octanoate. The regulatory interactions between substrates, hormones and nerves can best be explained on the basis of the model of metabolic zonation.  相似文献

The activation of hepatic glycogenolysis by glucagon and metabolic inhibitors was studied in isolated perfused livers from fed rats. Glucose production rates and phosphorylase activity were increased by all these agents. If iodoacetate (1 mM) and cyanide (1 mM) were infused simultaneously, glycogenolysis was activated to the same extent as by glucagon (1 nM). The effects of the hormone were additive to those of cyanide, but not to those of iodoacetate. When glycogen breakdown was maximally activated by cyanide plus glucagon, additional iodoacetate was inhibitory. The glucagon-induced release of cyclic AMP into the perfusate was partially suppressed by iodoacetate. The inhibitors caused various degrees of depletion of the tissue ATP content and parallel augmentation of the AMP levels. ADP rose to a lesser extent. Indirect evidence suggested that of a progressive lowering of the cellular ATP levels was accompanied by an inhibition of enzyme dephosphorylation as well as of phosphorylation processes. However, dephosphorylation appeared to be more sensitive to changes of the energy balance, resulting in an activation of phosphorylase in response to the metabolic inhibitors.  相似文献

Studies indicate that many tissues could express follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) besides pituitary. New functions of FSH are also been recognized beyond reproduction regulation. However, no report has been made about the expression and function of FSH in rat pancreas yet. Dual-labeled immunofluorescence stain, in situ hybridization and dual-labeled immunohistochemistry stain in adjacent sections were used to study the expression of FSH and its receptor, and co-localization of FSH with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor in rat pancreas. Tissue incubation and enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA) were used to study the effects of FSH on the secretion of insulin and glucagon in rat pancreas in vitro. The results showed that rat pancreas could express FSH and its receptor, some of islet cells co-expressed FSH and its receptor, some of islet cells co-expressed FSH and GnRH receptor. FSH has the same bidirectional regulation effects on insulin and glucagon in vitro. These data suggested that rat pancreas is a target organ of FSH, and GnRH might regulate FSH through GnRH receptor in rat pancreas. FSH might regulate the endocrine function of rat pancreas through FSH receptor.  相似文献

Rat liver hepatocytes were isolated by collagenase in vitro perfusion technique and the effect of epinephrine, glucagon and insulin on glycogenolysis was studied. Both glucagon and epinephrine at the concentration of 10?6M, stimulated gluconeogenesis by 80–100%. Addition of insulin (33 μUnits/ml) completely abolished the epinephrine-stimulated glycogenolysis whereas only 50% inhibition was observed with insulin in glucagon stimulated glycogenolysis. This stimulation was observed within 2–5 min after the addition of the hormones. These results suggest that hepatocytes isolated with low concentrations of collagenase retain glucagon, epinephrine and insulin receptor sites.  相似文献

The possible direct effects of insulin and glucagon on carnitine uptake by perfused rat liver were studied with L-[3H]carnitine of an initial concentration of 50 microM in the perfusate. Insulin (10 nM) did not significantly affect the uptake by livers from fed animals. However, insulin could reverse the stimulated transport by livers from 24-h fasted animals, reducing the uptake rate from 852 +/- 54.1 to 480 +/- 39.9 (mean +/- S.E.), P less than 0.01 (rates are expressed as nmol per h per 100 g body wt). Glucagon (50 nM) stimulated the uptake rate when livers were either from fed (551 +/- 40.1 vs. 915 +/- 55.3, P less than 0.01) or from fasted animals (852 +/- 54.1 vs. 1142 +/- 88.1, P less than 0.02). Based on these and earlier observations, we propose that the carnitine concentration in rat liver is controlled by insulin and glucagon via cellular transport processes.  相似文献

The ability of noradrenaline (1 microM), phenylephrine (10 microM), and isoproterenol (1 microM) to stimulate glycogenolysis in euthyroid and hypothyroid perfused rat livers was investigated. It was found that hypothyroidism severely impaired alpha-receptor-mediated (noradrenaline, phenylephrine) glucose release. The initial Ca2+ efflux and K+ influx induced by these agonists in the euthyroid control group were almost totally absent in the hypothyroid group, while glycogen phosphorylase a activity in the hypothyroid rat livers was markedly lower than in the controls after infusing noradrenaline for 1 min. Diminished CA2+ efflux (and possibly diminished K+ influx) is likely to play a role in the large impairment in the action of noradrenaline or phenylephrine on glycogenolysis in the perfused hypothyroid rat liver. After prolonged stimulation (15 min) with noradrenaline, however, the phosphorylase a activity in the hypothyroid and euthyroid groups did not differ significantly. This was accompanied by Ca2+ influx in the hypothyroid livers, probably facilitated by a beta-adrenergic effect of noradrenaline in this group. Hypothyroidism potentiated the effect of isoproterenol on glycogenolysis. The glucose 6-phosphate content in the hypothyroid rat livers was markedly higher than in the euthyroid group after stimulation by noradrenaline or isoproterenol.  相似文献

Effects of prostaglandin D2 on pancreatic islet function in perfused rat pancreas were examined in comparison with those of prostaglandin E2, which has hitherto been suggested to be a modifier of pancreatic hormone release. In the presence of 2.8 mM glucose, only glucagon release was strongly stimulated by 14 microM of prostaglandin D2, while release of both glucagon and insulin was augmented by 14 microM of prostaglandin E2. When the glucose concentration was elevated to 11.2 mM, insulin release was accelerated by 14 microM of prostaglandin D2 but there was no effect upon glucagon release. Again, release of both glucagon and insulin was augmented by 14 microM of prostaglandin E2 in the presence of 11.2 mM of glucose. The regulation of glucagon and insulin release through prostaglandin D2 is apparently adapted to glycemic changes, and may be a physiological modulator of pancreatic islet function.  相似文献

1. The effects of insulin (2 nM and 4 nM) upon oxygen consumption (VO2), lipolysis rates and indirectly derived rates of fatty acid utilization, by isolated brown adipocytes from warm-acclimated (W cells) and cold-acclimated (C cells) animals, induced by noradrenaline and glucagon separately and conjointly, are reported. 2. Changes in interrelationships (coupling) between the parameters under different treatment regimes were assessed using bivariate regression analyses. 3. Administration of glucagon with noradrenaline increased lipolysis/fatty acid utilization coupling without concomitant increase of VO2 suggesting that glucagon may increase re-esterification through glycogenolytic generation of glycerol 3-phosphate, trapping intracellular fatty acid in excess of the capacity of disposal mechanisms, thus conserving respiratory substrate. 4. W cells were unresponsive to glucagon in terms of lipolysis and VO2, C cells responded to glucagon with parallel increases in lipolysis rate and VO2. Both cell types responded to noradrenaline alone and conjointly with glucagon; C cells were more sensitive to these agonists than W cells. 5. Lipolysis/VO2 coupling was reduced in C cells suggesting that in cold acclimation, noradrenaline-induced lipolysis rates are in excess of the capacity of cellular oxidation/re-esterification mechanisms. 6. Insulin inhibited noradrenaline and glucagon-induced lipolysis, simultaneously increasing VO2, supporting the hypothesis that glucose may be a thermogenic substrate in brown adipase tissue, permitting concurrent thermogenesis and lipogenesis. C cells were more insulin-sensitive than W cells. 7. The data indicate that insulin may mediate its effects (additively with noradrenaline) by activation of pyruvate dehydrogenase, generating glycolytic flux and, in the presence of noradrenaline-inhibited lipogenesis, generate additional oxaloacetate, permitting increased beta-oxidation.  相似文献

Infusion of adenine nucleotides and adenosine into perfused rat livers resulted in stimulation of hepatic glycogenolysis, transient increases in the effluent perfusate [3-hydroxybutyrate]/[acetoacetate] ratio, and increased portal vein pressure. In livers perfused with buffer containing 50 microM-Ca2+, transient efflux of Ca2+ was seen on stimulation of the liver with adenine nucleotides or adenosine. ADP was the most potent of the nucleotides, stimulating glucose output at concentrations as low as 0.15 microM, with half-maximal stimulation at approx. 1 microM, and ATP was slightly less potent, half-maximal stimulation requiring 4 microM-ATP. AMP and adenosine were much less effective, doses giving half-maximal stimulation being 40 and 20 microM respectively. Non-hydrolysed ATP analogues were much less effective than ATP in promoting changes in hepatic metabolism. ITP, GTP and GDP caused similar changes in hepatic metabolism to ATP, but were 10-20 times less potent than ATP. In livers perfused at low (7 microM) Ca2+, infusion of phenylephrine before ATP desensitized hepatic responses to ATP. Repeated infusions of ATP in such low-Ca2+-perfused livers caused homologous desensitization of ATP responses, and also desensitized subsequent Ca2+-dependent responses to phenylephrine. A short infusion of Ca2+ (1.25 mM) after phenylephrine infusion restored subsequent responses to ATP, indicating that, during perfusion with buffer containing 7 microM-Ca2+, ATP and phenylephrine deplete the same pool of intracellular Ca2+, which can be rapidly replenished in the presence of extracellular Ca2+. Measurement of cyclic AMP in freeze-clamped liver tissue demonstrated that adenosine (150 microM) significantly increased hepatic cyclic AMP, whereas ATP (15 microM) was without effect. It is concluded that ATP and ADP stimulate hepatic glycogenolysis via P2-purinergic receptors, through a Ca2+-dependent mechanism similar to that in alpha-adrenergic stimulation of hepatic tissue. However, adenosine stimulates glycogenolysis via P1-purinoreceptors and/or uptake into the cell, at least partially through a mechanism involving increase in cyclic AMP. Further, the hepatic response to adenine nucleotides may be significant in regulating hepatic glucose output in physiological and pathophysiological states.  相似文献

Cobalt ions (2 mM) inhibited the glycogenolysis induced by phenylephrine and glucagon in perfused rat liver. Cobalt ions also inhibited 45Ca++ efflux from prelabelled livers induced by phenylephrine and glucagon. In addition, they inhibited the rise in tissue levels of cyclic AMP caused by glucagon, but did not inhibit the stimulation of 45Ca++ efflux or glycogenolysis by cyclic AMP or dibutyryl cyclic AMP. The specific binding of glucagon and alpha-agonist to hepatocytes was not inhibited by cobalt ions. These data suggest that cobalt ions, presumably through their high affinity for calcium binding sites on membranes inhibit the stimulation of glycogenolysis by phenylephrine and glucagon in distinct ways; one by inhibiting calcium mobilization and the other by inhibiting cyclic AMP production. Therefore, it is conceivable that membrane-bound calcium plays an important role in stimulating Ca++ mobilization by phenylephrine, and cyclic AMP production by glucagon.  相似文献

Using perfused liver of the rat, the hepatic uptake of glycosylated insulin (GI) and glucagon (GG) and its effects on hepatic glucose output were investigated. Insulin and glucagon were glycosylated in ambient high glucose concentration, and GI80 or GG80 (insulin or glucagon incubated with 0.08% glucose), GI350 or GG350 (incubated with 0.35% glucose), and GI1000 or GG1000 (incubated with 1% glucose) were prepared. The liver was perfused with the medium containing 1000 microU/ml insulin and 200 pg/ml glucagon or 200 microU/ml insulin and 1000 pg/ml glucagon. The fractional uptake of insulin or glucagon by perfused liver was not significantly altered by the glycosylation. In the liver perfused with 1000 microU/ml insulin and 200 pg/ml glucagon, glucose output was not changed by the glycosylation of the hormones, while in the liver perfused with 200 microU/ml insulin and 1000 pg/ml glucagon, GI1000 reduced its biological activity, as reflected by insulin-mediated decrease in glucose output. These results suggest that in the liver insulin incubated with markedly high concentration of glucose reduces its biological activity at a physiological concentration in the presence of high concentration of glucagon.  相似文献

We have previously produced transgenic G-InsKi mice, a model allowing regulated portal insulin delivery from gastric G cells without using beta cells. Here, we report that in G-InsKi mice portal levels of transgenic human insulin are 6-fold higher than in peripheral circulation. Peptone-induced release of transgenic human insulin from G cells preferentially stimulated signaling cascades in the liver rather than in peripheral insulin-sensitive tissues, as judged by tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor beta subunit and phosphorylation of protein kinase Akt/PKB at Thr-308. G-InsKi mice provide a novel animal model for elucidating direct effects of insulin on liver functions.  相似文献

Perivascular stimulation of the hepatic nerves in the in situ perfused rat liver with a constant frequency of 20 Hz over a constant period of 5 min had previously been shown to cause an increase of glucose output, a shift from lactate uptake to release, a reduction in perfusion flow (Hartmann et al. (1982) Eur. J. Biochem. 123, 521-526) and an overflow of noradrenaline into the hepatic vein (Beckh et al. (1982) FEBS Lett. 149, 261-265). In the present study the dependence of the metabolic and hemodynamic effects on the frequency between 1 and 30 Hz and duration of stimulation between 0.5 and 5 min was investigated. Over a constant stimulation period of 5 min the alteration in glucose exchange was maximal with a frequency of 10 Hz and half-maximal with 4 Hz. The corresponding values for the exchange of lactate were 5 Hz and 2 Hz, respectively, and for the perfusion flow 2.5 Hz and 1.5 Hz, respectively. An increase of noradrenaline overflow was not observed with the lower frequencies of 1 and 2.5 Hz; it was maximal at 10 Hz and half-maximal at 6.5 Hz. At a constant frequency of 20 Hz the increase in glucose release was maximal with a total stimulation period of 1 min and half-maximal with a period of 0.4 min. An essentially maximal alteration of lactate exchange and perfusion flow as well as of noradrenaline overflow was also effected by a stimulation period of 1 min.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献
