Increasing concentrations of amylin progressively depressed the maximal insulin-stimulated radioglucose incorporation into soleus muscle glycogen, but did not substantively change the EC50 (range 0.78 to 1.52 nM); these findings show noncompetitive, insurmountable antagonism of insulin action by amylin. The results from 36 combinations of different insulin and amylin concentrations were used to construct a response surface that can be used to predict the response for any combination of insulin and amylin concentration. The predicted response to a constant ratio of insulin and amylin concentration is a bell-shaped curve. The experimentally determined response to increasing amounts of an amylin-insulin mixture (molar ratio of 0.14:1, within the range measured for pancreatic secretion and plasma levels) gave a bell-shaped response rather than the sigmoidal response seen with insulin alone. The amylin dose-response relation in the soleus system provides a useful bioassay for amylin agonists. The dose response for highly purified, synthetic human amylin obtained by measuring amylin concentrations by radioimmunoassay in the incubation medium gave an EC50 of 456 pM (+/- 0.18 log units). Human amylin had a potency greater than or equal to that of human insulin in this highly insulin-sensitive preparation.
