Relationship between plasma glucagon disappearance and tissue uptake in rats.

چکیده
The fate of plasma glucagon has been analyzed in detail by Desbuquois and Postel-Vinay. The present work was carried out to clarify the relationships between plasma glucagon disappearance and its tissue uptake. For the purpose, we injected rats intravenously with 125I-glucagon alone or with concomitant or sequential injections of native glucagon. Plasma 125I-glucagon was analyzed by Biogel P10 chromatography. Liver and kidney glucagon kinetics were studied from the point of view of the evolution of the total radioactivity present in each tissue a few minutes after glucagon injection. 125I-glucagon was rapidly cleared from the plasma (half-life within 2 min); it was intensively associated with liver and kidneys. Liver radioactivity rapidly declined within the first 5 min after injection, whereas kidney radioactivity increased. The concomitant injection of increasing amounts of native glucagon with 125I-glucagon progressively reduced the liver radioactivity, indicating that glucagon was trapped in a saturable compartment. In contrast, kidney radioactivity remained unchanged. The sequential injection of 125I-glucagon and excess native glucagon resulted in a shift to the right in the plasma 125I-glucagon decay curve which suggests that the glucagon excess displaced 125I-glucagon from its distribution compartment back into the plasma. The compartment where glucagon uptake occurred a few minutes after 125I-glucagon injection displayed some of the fundamental properties of glucagon receptors, i.e. saturatibility and reversibility.

Glucagon kinetics in growing rats fed different levels of protein and/or energy.
The present work was carried out to evaluate the kinetic parameters of glucagon in growing rats divided into three groups: T, H and E. Group T (Control group) was fed a control diet (crude protein: 11.8%). Groups H and E received a high protein diet (crude protein: 19%) distributed in either equal (Group H) or restricted amounts (Group E) with respect to the control. Thus, the main characterist...

OBJECTIVE Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogues (e.g., exenatide) increase insulin secretion in diabetes but less is known about their effects on glucose production or insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in peripheral tissues. METHODS Four groups of Sprague-Dawley rats were studied: nondiabetic (control, C); nondiabetic + exenatide (C + E); diabetic (D); diabetic + exenatide (D + E) with di...
متن کاملEffects of glucagon-like peptide-I on glucose turnover in rats.
The influences of glucagon-like peptide-I-(7-36) amide (GLP-I; 15 mumol. kg-1.min-1) on glucose turnover were studied in freely moving Wistar rats. In fed rats, GLP-1 reduced plasma glucose (from 7.3 +/- 0.2 to 5.6 +/- 0.3 mmol/l; P = 0.017), increased plasma insulin (from 20 +/- 3 to 89 +/- 11 mU/l; P = 0.002), and reduced plasma glucagon (from 44 +/- 1 to 35 +/- 2 pg/ml; P = 0.009) and glucos...
متن کاملEffect of GIP and GLP-1 antagonists on insulin release in the rat.
Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) are potent insulinotropic peptides released from the small intestine. To examine their relative contribution to postprandial insulin release, a specific GIP antagonist (ANTGIP) and a GLP-1 antagonist, exendin-(9-39)-NH2, were infused into rats after an intragastric glucose meal. In control rats, plasma glucos...
