A rise in cyclic AMP with a lack of glycogenolysis by secretin in the isolated perfused rat liver and its inhibition by epinephrine.
The effects of secretin on glucose output and cyclic AMP from the isolated perfused rat liver were investigated. Secretin 0.1 U/ml increased cyclic AMP in the effluent without an increase in glucose output. Glucose output induced by epinephrine 10(-8)M was not affected by secretin 0.1 U/ml administered simultaneously, whereas the increase in cyclic AMP produced by secretin 0.1 U/ml was inhibited by epinephrine 10(-8)M. The increase in cyclic AMP produced by glucagon 10(-10)M was not affected by epinephrine 10(-8)M. These results suggest that secretin does not affect glycogenolysis in the liver and secretin activates adenylate cyclase through a different receptor from glucagon in the liver.
