Disparate effects of enkephalin and morphine upon insulin and glucagon secretion by islet cell cultures
RA Kanter, JW Ensinck and WY Fujimoto
Insulin and glucagon release from monolayer pancreatic islet cell cultures were inhibited in a dose-response fashion by various enkephalins. Morphine, however, stimulated insulin and glucagon release. Both effects were blocked by naloxone, while naloxone alone had no effect. In isolated and denervated islet cells, opiates directly influence secretion from islet cells. This article has been cited by other articles:
