Abstract

In this work we have studied the chromatograpic pattern on Bio-Gel P-30 columns of the glucagon-like immunoreactivity (GLI) present in unextracted plasma from normal dogs in the basal state and after intraduodenal administration of glucose.

Basal plasma GLI, measured by R-8 antiserum, was distributed in four distinct fractions, whose approximate molecular weights were: > 30000 Δ (Fraction I), 10000 Δ (Fraction II), 3500 Δ (Fraction III) and 2000 Δ (Fraction IV). Fraction I accounted for the highest percent of total immunoreactivity.

The increase in plasma GLI during glucose absorption was due to a significant increase of Fraction II, which may well correspond to tissue GLI Peak I, while no significant changes were evident in the other three fractions.

The fact that tissue Peak I (or plasma Fraction II) seems to be the factor secreted during glucose absorption puts the material/s of this molecular size in the first place for further investigation.
