The nature and extent of somatostatin-induced inhibition of pancreatic endocrine secretion were studied by administration of a number of stimuli of either glucagon or insulin to over night fasted baboons with and without an infusion of linear somatostatin. The stimuli for acute-phase insulin release were intravenous pulses of glucose, tolbutamide, isoproterenol, and secretin. When given 15 min after the start of a somatostatin infusion, these agents were essentially unable to stimulate insulin secretion. Chronic insulin secretion was stimulated by infusions of either glucose or glucagon. Within 10 min of the start of a super-imposed infusion of somatostatin, insulin levels fell to less than 40 percent of prestimulus control and remained suppressed for the duration of the somatostatin infusion. Stimulation of glucagon secretion by insulin-induced hypoglycemia was also blocked by somatostatin. Plasma glucose decreased during somatostatin infusions except when superimposed upon an infusion of glucagon. Somatostatin had no effect on glucose production in a rat liver slice preparation. We conclude: (a) Somatostatin is a potent and so far universally effective inhibitor of both acute and chronic phases of stimulated insulin and glucagon secretion (b) The inhibitory effect is quickly reversible and the pattern of recovery of secretion is appropriate to prevailing signals; (c) Present evidence suggests that the effect of somatostatin on blood glucose is mediated through its effect on blood glucagon; (d) In the overnight-fasted baboon both in the basal state and 45 min into a 4-mg/kg-min glucose infusion, a somatostatin-induced fall in serum insulin levels appears to be unable to prevent a decrease in hepatic glucose production.

Somatostatin blockade of acute and chronic stimuli of the endocrine pancreas and the consequences of this blockade on glucose homeostasis.

A B S T R A C T The effect of glucose infusions on rates of lipolysis were studied in a group of chair-trained papio baboons that had been prepared for chronic intravenous and intracarotid infusion. All studies were carried out after a 24 hr period of fasting and when the animals were fully awake. After a control interval of 1 hr., a glucose infusion was begun either intravenously or intra-arterially. The infusion was continued at a constant rate for 2 hr and then changed directly to the alternate route and continued an additional 2 hr. Blood samples were collected at 30-min intervals for glucose, free fatty acid (FFA), glycerol, insulin, and in some studies, growth hormone (GH) determination. When glucose doses less than 0.5 mg/kg per min were used, no change in the products of lipolysis was noted during either venous or carotid administration, and glucose and insulin levels remained stable or fell gradually. With doses of glucose between 0.5 and 0.6 mg/kg per min, a greater fall in both FFA and glycerol was noted during carotid administration. No definite changes in plasma glucose or insulin levels were noted during either infu
