Inosine is a potent simulant of insulin release from rat but not from rabbit islets of Langerhans. Further investigation showed that nucleoside phosphorylase activity is exceptionally low in rabbit islets. The ability of inosine to promote insulin release seems to be related to islet nucleoside phosphorylase activity, which can display marked species differences.

Feeding And Fasting

Insulin responsiveness to glucose of isolated islets of Langerhans was studied in 'younger' and 'older' rats after feeding and fasting for various lengths of time. In 'younger' rats, after prolonged fasting (168 h) the threshold for glucose-stimulated insulin secretion was increased. This was not evident in islets from 'younger' rats fasted for 48 or 89 h. Reductions in increments of insulin secretion with increments in glucose, in the maximum insulin secreted and in the total extractable insulin of the islets were apparent after fasting for 48, 89 and 168 h as compared with islets from fed rats. In 'older' rats, prolonged fasting caused an increase in the threshold for glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, reduced incremental insulin secretion, reduced maximum insulin secretion and reduced total extractable insulin. However, the responses of islets from fed 'older' rats were similar to those of fasted (168 h) 'younger' rats. The threshold levels were similar, and there were no significant differences between increments in insulin secretion, maximum insulin secretion and insulin content of the islets. These experiments show that the responsiveness of islets of Langerhans in rats can be altered by age and fasting.

ABSTRACT The effect of epinephrine and isoproterenol in different concentrations and adrenergic blocking agents on glucose induced insulin secretion and glucose utilization was studied in isolated islets of Langerhans from mice. Epinephrine in physiological concentrations significantly inhibited the glucose induced insulin secretion. This effect was not mediated by a change in glucose utilization but involved α-adrenergic stimulation. Isoproterenol significantly stimulated the glucose induced insulin secretion but had no effect on glucose utilization. β-adrenergic stimulation by isoproterenol at low glucose concentration was not sufficient to stimulate insulin secretion. The results are discussed in relation to current theories on the mechanism of glucose induced insulin secretion.
