The origin, hormonal nature, and action of hepatotrophic substances in portal venous blood [PDF]
The hepatotrophic factors previously reported to be in splanchnic venous blood are pancreatic hormones and specifically insulin and glucagon. Of these, insulin is anabolic and glucagon is mainly catabolic but not exclusively so, since glucagon also has ...

Evidence that host size determines liver size: Studies in dogs receiving orthotopic liver transplants [PDF]
Orthotopic liver transplantation was performed in two groups of dogs; Group I animals consisted of large dogs that served as recipients of livers obtained from smaller dogs while Group II animals consisted of dogs that received liver from donor dogs of ...

Alpha-cell paracrine signaling in the regulation of beta-cell insulin secretion
As an incretin hormone, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) lowers blood glucose levels by enhancing glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from pancreatic beta-cells.

In vitro assessment of pancreatic hormone secretion from isolated porcine islets
The potential use of porcine islets for transplantation in humans has triggered interest in understanding porcine islet physiology. However, the number of studies dedicated to this topic has remained limited, as most islet physiologists prefer to use the

Metabolic and hormonal studies of Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients after successful pancreas and kidney transplantation [PDF]
Long-term normalization of glucose metabolism is necessary to prevent or ameliorate diabetic complications. Although pancreatic grafting is able to restore normal blood glucose and glycated haemoglobin, the degree of normalization of the deranged ...
