RESUMO

The effects of ingested and infused glucose upon circulating glucagon-like immunoreactivity (GLI) were compared in 14 triply catheterized conscious dogs. Within 60 min after the intraduodenal administration of 2 g/kg of glucose, the mean level of glucagon-like immunoreactivity in the vena caval plasma more than doubled, whereas after intravenous infusion of the same dose over a 90 min period no change in the mean vena caval level was observed; during glucose infusion mean glucagon-like immunoreactivity in the pancreatic venous effluent declined, suggesting that hyperglycemia suppresses rather than stimulates pancreatic glucagon secretion.
