Abstract：
:Cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) is a neurotransmitter and hormone, involved in the regulation of e.g. food intake, body weight, reward and addiction, and stress response. CART has also been found to affect insulin secretion and beta cell morphology, both in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, CART affects regulation of the cardiovascular system and helps to modulate vascular tone. The present study evaluated the local effect of CART on the pancreatic and islet circulation and function. CART (25 μg/h) or saline, combinations of CART and endothelin-A receptor antagonist (BQ123; 100 μg/kg), and glucose (2 g/kg) were intravenously infused in Sprague Dawley rats followed by blood flow measurements using a microsphere technique. Separately, CART-infused animals underwent an intravenous glucose tolerance test (ivGTT). The direct effect of CART on insulin release was investigated using isolated islets from Sprague Dawley rats. CART reduced islet blood flow, without reduction in total pancreatic blood flow. The normal glucose-induced islet blood flow increase was diminished by CART, albeit still present. Simultaneously, CART had no effect on systemic-, intestinal- or renal blood flow. The endothelin-A receptor antagonist BQ123 together with CART had no pancreatic vascular effects. We found that CART has pronounced vascular constrictive actions restricted to the pancreatic islet circulation but had no effect on insulin release neither in vivo nor in vitro. The mechanisms behind the vascular effects are still unknown, but may reflect a direct action on pancreatic blood vessels.
