Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Alloxan infused into the isolated perfused rat pancreas caused transient insulin secretion release. Alloxan poisoning also prevented subsequent induction of glucose-mediated unsulin release and also prevented the inhibition of glucagon release by glucose. Glucose or 3-O-methylglucose infused simultaneously with alloxan protected the alpha- and beta-cell, allowing subsequent glucose inhibition of glucagon secretion and stimulation of insulin release. The above alloxan effects were dose-related, the alpha-cell being one fourth as sensitive to alloxan as the beta-cell. The data indicate that (1) alloxan and glucose suppression of amino-acid-stimulated glucagon secretion is independent of concomitant insulin secretion; (2) alloxan, like glucose, affects alpha-and beta-cells directly, stimulating the beta-cell and inhibiting the alpha-cell; and (3) alloxan acts on a glucoreceptor system with comparable physicochemical characteristics common to both cell types.
