CHANGES IN INSULIN CONTENT OF, AND INSULIN AND RNA SYNTHESIS IN, ISOLATED RAT ISLETS OF LANGERHANS AFTER HYPOPHYSECTOMY AND SHORT-TERM GROWTH HORMONE REPLACEMENT

A. Ü. PARMAN

Three to four weeks after hypophysectomy, the insulin content and glucose-stimulated insulin or total RNA synthesis in the pancreatic islets were estimated. The ratio of the glucose-stimulated insulin release to the islet insulin content was lowered. After shortterm GH replacement, insulin release and insulin content were slightly increased such that the ratio of release to content remained virtually unaltered. Glucose-stimulated insulin synthesis was also depressed but improved slightly after GH replacement. However, there was no significant change in the incorporation of [5-3H]uridine into islet total RNA after hypophysectomy or subsequent GH replacement.
