Anti-inflammatory action of glucagon in rats.

Abstract:

:1 Subcutaneous administration of glucagon (1 and 0.5 mg/kg) 30 min before the injection of carrageenin or dextran into the rat's paw reduced oedema and the local exudation of Evans blue previously given intravenously. 2 The effect persisted after removal of the adrenal medulla but not after adrenalectomy. 3 When glucagon (1 mg/kg, s.c.) was given daily after a local reaction to Freund's adjuvant injected into the paw had developed, a decrease in the reaction was observed up to 12 days. Blood sugar levels remained within the normal range. 4 Glucagon may exert an anti-inflammatory effect through the release of adrenal corticosteroids and thus help modulate inflammatory reactions.

  • Amino acid transporter SLC6A14 is a novel and effective drug target for pancreatic cancer.

    abstract:BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Pancreatic cancer is a solid tumour that is often fatal. Hence, there is an urgent need to identify new drug targets for this disease. Highly proliferating cancer cells have an increased demand for nutrients and, therefore, need to up-regulate selective amino acid transporters. Here, we investiga...
