| Popis: | The response of VIP to either an oral glucose load (OGT) or intravenous glucose (IV glucose), aimed at reproducing the plasma glucose level after OGT, was studied in trained, conscious, sham-operated (Sham; n =6 ) dogs, and dogs having initially (12 months before the glucose experiments) undergone occlusion of the pancreatic duct by the prolamine glue technique (Occ; n =5 ). As a result, prior to glucose studies, the exocrine pancreas function was found subtotally reduced, as indirectly evaluated by the para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) test, but no signs of diabetes were detected. The two studies with glucose administration designed to demonstrate the release of insulin, VIP, somatostatin into plasma as modified by enteric signals (represented by the difference of plasma peptide concentration during OGT minus peptide concentration during IV glucose) revealed the following: (1) basal plasma glucose, insulin, VIP, somatostatin did not differ between Sham and Occ dogs; (2) after OGT in Occ dogs the plasma glucose was elevated, whereas plasma insulin was markedly reduced, and VIP, somatostatin were largely unchanged; (3) the integrated output of insulin only was impaired when considering the so-called entero-insulin axis, while integrated VIP, somatostatin were unaltered. It was concluded (a) the Occ procedure in the dog has the capacity to subtotal destruction of the pancreatic acinar tissue, and of the entero-insular axis of insulin, the latter through yet unknown pathways, (b) the Occ technique may be a useful tool for investigation of the nature of “incretin”, (c) VIP and somatostatin do not respond to elevated blood glucose and may have no role in the “incretin” concept of enteric modulation of the B-cell. |
