Answer 1

whether in vivo endotoxin treatment alters the ability of epinephrine to inhibit immunoreactive insulin (IRI) secretion or to stimulate immunoreactive glucagon (IRG) secretion from the in vitro perfused rat pancreas preparation. Insulin and glucagon secretion were measured from pancreases obtained from control and endotoxin-treated rats. The pancreases were perfused with 240 mg/dl glucose in the presence and the absence of 13.6 nM epinephrine. The absolute ability of epinephrine to inhibit glucose-induced IRI secretion was similar for both "control" and "endotoxic" pancreases. However, since endotoxic pancreases hypersecrete insulin, the relative ability of epinephrine to inhibit insulin secretion was reduced in endotoxic compared with control pancreases. Epinephrine did not appreciably alter IRG secretion in control pancreases. However, epinephrine prevented a
