Abstract:
:The effects of glucagon-(1-21)-peptide on pancreatic exocrine secretion and plasma glucose levels were studied and compared with those of native glucagon in anesthetized dogs. Intravenous bolus administration of 1 nmol or 10 nmol/kg of glucagon-(1-21)-peptide evoked a significant inhibition of secretin-stimulated pancreatic juice secretion and protein output in a dose-dependent manner, as equimolar doses of glucagon did. Native glucagon induced an immediate and transient increase in pancreatic juice volume, which was followed by a significant inhibition. However, glucagon-(1-21)-peptide showed only the inhibitory action. Glucagon-(1-21)-peptide had no effect on plasma glucose levels even when a dose of 10 nmol/kg was given. The results suggest that the N-terminal amino-acid residues of glucagon play an important role in the inhibition of pancreatic exocrine secretion.
