The endocrine islet-cell hormones insulin and glucagon are secreted at high concentrations into an intrapancreatic portal circulation and have been reported to affect the secretion of digestive enzyme by the exocrine pancreas. In the present experiments, insulin and glucagon were injected into the celiac artery of anesthetized rats to evaluate their effects on the secretion of amylase and trypsinogen by the pancreas. Neither hormone when given alone significantly changed the output of either enzyme. However, when given with the pancreatic secretagogue cholecystokinin, each altered the effect of injection of cholecystokinin. In a dose-dependent fashion insulin increased trypsinogen output without affecting amylase output, whereas glucagon inhibited amylase output and left trypsinogen output unchanged. Thus, both hormones produced a more trypsinogen-dominant pancreatic juice than that observed with cholecystokinin alone, although in different ways. These findings suggest that the endocrine hormones insulin and glucagon may regulate secretion of digestive enzymes by the pancreas by modulating the response to stimuli of overall protein secretion such as cholecystokinin.
