Abstract: | The interaction of three incretin candidates, glucagon-like peptide-1(7-36)amide (t-GLP-1), gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), and sulfated COOH-terminal octapeptide of cholecystokinin (CCK-8-S), on insulin and glucagon release from the isolated perfused rat pancreas was studied. Under the perfusate condition of 8.3 mmol/L glucose, coinfusion of 0.1 nmol/L t-GLP-1 and 0.1 nmol/L GIP resulted in an augmented insulin release greater than that obtained by the same dose of each peptide alone. The degree of stimulation elicited by t-GLP-1 and GIP reached a plateau at 0.3 nmol/L for both infusates, and no cooperative effect was observed by coinfusion at 0.3 nmol/L. Coinfusion of 0.1 nmol/L t-GLP-1 and and 0.1 nmol/L CCK-8-S also resulted in an augmented insulin release greater than that obtained by the same dose of each peptide alone. A similar cooperative effect was observed by coinfusion at 0.3 nmol/L, 1 nmol/L, and 3 nmol/L. With the same perfusion experiments, glucagon release was not significantly affected by any peptide at concentrations of 0.1, 0.3, 1, or 3 nmol/L. The coinfusion of 1 nmol/L t-GLP-1 and GIP elicited a transient, but significant, increase in glucagon release. A similar result was obtained by the coinfusion of 0.3 nmol/L and 3 nmol/L t-GLP-1 and GIP, respectively. The coinfusion of t-GLP-1 and CCK-8-S did not affect the glucagon release.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) |
