title: Inhibited insulin secretion by recombinant human interleukin-1 beta in adrenalectomized rats: involvement of prostaglandin.
abstract: An involvement of prostaglandin synthesis in reduced insulin secretion by interleukin-1 was investigated in adrenalectomized (ADX) rats. The recombinant human interleukin-1 beta (IL-1) significantly reduced insulin secretion in ADX rats 2 and 4 hr after the injection, although IL-1 stimulated insulin secretion in intact rats. In ADX rat, IL-1 showed dose-dependent inhibition of pancreatic insulin secretion. In addition, insulin response to intravenous glucose loading was also attenuated in ADX rats with pretreatment by IL-1. At 4 hours after injection, ibuprofen (IBP; 0.5-50.0 mg/kg, ip), selective cyclooxygenase blocker, attenuated insulin inhibition by IL-1 in a dose-dependent manner. These data suggest that IL-1 may suppress in vivo insulin release at least in part through the mediation of prostaglandin synthesis in the absence of adrenal glands.
