Abstract: | The effects of glucagon and insulin on hepatic microsomal calcium uptake were investigated. Microsomes isolated from perfused rat liver accumulated calcium in the presence of ATP and oxalate. Addition of glucagon to the perfusate significantly increased calcium uptake by microsomes subsequently isolated. In contrast, addition of insulin to the perfusate resulted in a decreased microsomal calcium uptake and inhibition of the glucagon effect. Because the effects of glucagon and insulin on hepatic microsomal calcium uptake are opposite, as are the metabolic effects of these hormones, it is likely that the observed differences are of physiological importance. |
