Abstract

The present study was designed to examine the effects of intravenously injected alloxan (75 mg/kg) upon plasma somatostatin-like immunoreactivity (SLI), glucagon (IRG), insulin (IRI) and glucose levels in 6 dogs. Within 2 hours of the injection of alloxan, SLI and IRI levels decreased significantly below their respective baselines, while IRG and plasma glucose concentrations increased. At 8 hours SLI levels had increased significantly by 55 pg/ml, together with a rise in IRI and a decrease in IRG and glucose concentrations. After 24 hours, marked hyperglycemia and hyperglucagonemia had developed whereas SLI levels were not different from preinjection values.
