Entero-Insular Axis

Unger, Roger H.·1969·Archives of Internal Medicine

Abstract

Evidence for an entero-insular axis is based upon studies showing that amino acids as well as glucose cause a greater and earlier release of islet cell hormones when administered via the gastrointestinal tract than occurs with comparable elevations in the plasma concentrations of the nutrients given intravenously. The ability of several gastrointestinal hormones to elicit immediate augmentation of insulin and glucagon secretion has been established. Gastrin, secretin, and pancreozymin in dogs all produce an immediate rise of insulin to a peak one minute after injection, but the response to gastrin is quantitatively trivial, while that to secretin is modest. However, pancreozymin elicits substantial release of both insulin and glucagon, and augments the insulinogenic and glucagonogenic effects of amino acids. The physiologic implications of such studies are considered.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
