Abstract 

The effect of synthetic rat amylin (10,100,1000 pmol/l) on glucose (10 mmol/) and arginine (10 mmol/l) -stimulated islet hormone release from the isolated perfused rat pancreas and on amylase release from isolated pancreatic acini was investigated. Amylin stimulated the insulin release during the first (+76%) and the second secretion period (+42%) at 1 nmol/l. The first phase of the glucagon release was inhibited concentration dependently by amylin and completely suppressed during the second phase. Amylin diminished the somatostatin release in a concentration dependent manner. This effect was more pronounced at the first than the second secretion period (1 nmol amylin: 1 phase: -60%, 2.phase: -22%). Amylin was without any effect on basal and CCK stimulated amylase release from isolated rat pancreatic acini. Our data suggest amylin, a secretory product of pancreatic B-cells, as a peptide with approximately strong paracrine effects within the Langerhans islet. Therefore, amylin might be involved in the regulation of glucose homeostasis.
