In anesthetized cats and rats, it is demonstrated that glucose perfusion of the small intestine produces a rapid increase of insulin secretion (IRI) which precedes glycemia variation. This mechanism involves the autonomic nervous system and originates from intestinal glucoreceptors, the existence of which was recently reported. The nervous pathways are described in this study:(1) the afferent pathway is represented by vagal fibers coming from the intestinal glucoreceptors; (2) the efferent pathway involves both sympathetic fibers (splanchnic nerves) and chiefly parasympathetic fibers (vagal nerves). These results are established after surgical suppression of afferent and efferent vagal fibers, and pharmacological exclusion of parasympathetic or sympathetic fibers. The role of this nervous regulation of insulin secretion is discussed with special reference to other already known mechanisms.
