Several investigations in vivo and in vitro have shown that gastrointestinal hormones stimulate insulin secretion. Whether gastrin also has such an effect was tested both with the isolated mouse pancreas and with micro-dissected pancreatic islets from obese-hyperglycaemic mice. A fairly low concentration of human synthetic gastrin I (0·15 µg./ml.) was found to inhibit the stimulation of insulin release normally obtained with increasing glucose concentrations. However, when a higher concentration of gastrin was tested on the isolated pancreas in the presence of a low glucose concentration there was a stimulation of insulin secretion.
