Arginine-stimulated insulin and glucagon outputs from isolated perfused pancreata of warm-acclimated and 2-, 4-, and 6-wk cold-acclimated rats (4 degrees C) were determined to assess whether observed changes in these parameters were a result of cold exposure per se or a part of the adaptive process of cold acclimation. Progressive and sequential changes were seen in both insulin and glucagon outputs. At 2 wk cold acclimation, glucagon rose and insulin output tended to fall, at 4 wk, glucagon output remained elevated and insulin output was further reduced, and at 6 wk, glucagon output had returned to control levels, whereas insulin output was substantially further reduced. These changes resulted in reduction of the insulin-to-glucagon molar ratio of the total arginine-induced output from 7.27 +/- 1.76 (SE) in the warm acclimate to 2.31 +/- 0.79 (SE) at 2 wk, 1.42 +/- 0.29 (SE) at 4 wk, and 1.26 +/- 0.21 (SE) at 6 wk cold acclimation. The data do not provide in vitro support for the hypothesis that changes in pancreatic hormone secretion in vivo are a consequence of cold exposure and not cold acclimation.

COOH-terminal decapeptide of gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP-10) is a bombesin-like peptide, which has bioactivities to stimulate gastrin, insulin, and glucagon secretion. We have synthesized an analogue of GRP-10 that inhibits GRP-10's stimulation of insulin secretion both in vivo and in vitro and glucagon secretion in vivo, while potentiating the stimulation of gastrin secretion. The amino acid sequence of this peptide is H-Gly-Asn-Trp-Ala-Ala-Gly-His-Leu-Met-NH2 ([Ala6]GRP-10). Because the stimulation of insulin and gastrin secretion by GRP-10 has been ascribed to a direct effect on B- and G-cells, these findings suggest that there are two subtypes of receptors for bombesin-like peptides in mammalian tissues.

ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels are known to be critical in the control of both insulin and glucagon secretion, the major hormones in the maintenance of glucose homeostasis. The involvement of KATPchannels in glucose uptake in the target tissues of insulin, however, is not known. We show here that Kir6.2(−/−) mice lacking Kir6.2, the pore-forming subunit of these channels, have no KATPchannel activity in their skeletal muscles. A 2-deoxy-[3H]glucose uptake experiment in vivo showed that the basal and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in skeletal muscles and adipose tissues of Kir6.2(−/−) mice is enhanced compared with that in wild-type (WT) mice. In addition, in vitro measurement of glucose uptake indicates that disruption of the channel increases the basal glucose uptake in Kir6.2(−/−) extensor digitorum longus and the insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in Kir6.2(−/−) soleus muscle. In contrast, glucose uptake in adipose tissue, measured in vitro, was similar in Kir6.2(−/−) and WT mice, suggesting that the increase in glucose uptake in Kir6.2(−/−) adipocytes is mediated by altered extracellular hormonal or neuronal signals altered by disruption of the KATP channels.
