Abstract

The dynamics as well as the magnitudes of the multiple phases of secretion of glucagon and insulin, studied in the perfused rat pancreas, failed to provide evidence for the existence of feedback relationships between the two pancreatic islet hormones. On the other hand, in response to common secretagogues, the release of glucagon, which consistently precedes that of insulin, may have a modifying influence on the function of the B cell.
