title: Somatostatin, glucagon, and insulin secretion from isolated perfused pancreas of new genetically obese hyperglycemic rats.
abstract: Insulin, somatostatin, and glucagon release from the perfused pancreas was studied in the newly developed genetically obese hyperglycemic hyperinsulinemic (Wistar fatty) rat. Insulin and somatostatin levels rose significantly compared to those in lean littermate controls during arginine infusion. The glucagon increase, however, was significantly less when total amounts during arginine infusion were calculated. These results show that hypersecretion of insulin and somatostatin in vitro may suppress glucagon release in Wistar fatty rats.
