Popis: The effect of systemic administration of 6-hydroxydopamine to rats on glucose tolerance and insulin release in vivo, and insulin release in vitro, has been determined. Rats given SO mg⁄kg of 6-hydroxydopamine exhibited marked glucose intolerance 2, 4 and 6 weeks after injection. This was associated with markedly increased basal insulin levels and reduced insulin release in response to glucose in vivo at all times tested. Islets from pancreases removed from treated rats 1 month after injection exhibited diminished insulin release when tested with glucose in a perifusion system; both primary and secondary components of the biphasic insulin response to glucose were reduced in comparison with islets from untreated animals.
