abstract：:The effects of L-leucine, D-leucine, and L-isoleucine upon the secretion of glucagon and insulin were investigated using the isolated, perfused rat pancreas. All experiments were conducted in the presence of 5.6 mM D-glucose. Ten-minute perfusions of 2, 5, and 10 mM L-leucine induced the release of glucagon and insuli...
