title: Effects of 2-methylthio ATP on insulin secretion in the dog in vivo.
abstract: The effects of 2-methylthio ATP, an ATP analogue that is more specific for the P2Y receptor, were investigated on insulin secretion in the anesthetized dog in vivo. 2-Methylthio ATP was infused directly into the pancreaticoduodenal artery for 15 min. The infusion was performed so as to obtain a pancreaticoduodenal artery blood level of about 15 microM. 2-Methylthio ATP induced an immediate and significant stimulation of insulin secretion measured from the pancreaticoduodenal vein by means of a T-shaped catheter. After the infusion was stopped, the secretion of insulin progressively decreased and at 30 min was close to basal values. The stimulation of insulin secretion induced a transient but significant reduction of peripheral venous blood glucose levels.
