Immunoreactive glucagon and insulin C-peptide in man after resection of the pancreas and total pancreatectomy

R Kåresen et al. Am J Surg. 1980 Aug.

Abstract

Pancreatic-type glucagon (PTG) has been found in the plasma of totally pancreatectomized human beings. Arginine infusion, however, caused no increase in PTG. Pancreas-resected patients had a normal response of PTG to arginine and a subnormal increase in C peptide. Gut glucagon-like immunoreactants (gut GLI) were increased in resected patients and further increased in totally pancreatectomized patients. Gut GLI showed no change during arginine stimulation.
