title: [Interrelation between gastrin and insulin in a group of normal subjects].
abstract: The insulin secretory action of gastrin during O.G.T.T. has been assessed. The insulinaemic and gastrinaemic curves were evaluated in a group of normal subjects submitted to oral glucose load, using radioimmunological measurement techniques. At a later stage, the insulinaemic values were considered in the same subjects after administration of a gastrin analogue (pentagastrin) by the subcutaneous route in a dose such as to provoke a maximal gastric acid response. The data suggest that any participation of gastrin in the regulation of insulin secretion following a glucose meal can be excluded.
