abstract：:We previously showed that pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) potently stimulates insulin secretion in vivo in mice without altering glucose disposal. Such a combination of results would be explained if epinephrine released by PACAP counteracts the action of insulin and, therefore, that the gluc...
