The effect of islet amyloid polypeptide (amylin) and calcitonin gene-related peptide on glucose removal in the anaesthetized rat and on insulin secretion from rat pancreatic islets in vitro.

The effect of intravenous infusion of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP/amylin) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) on blood glucose and plasma insulin in the basal and glucose-stimulated state was investigated in the anaesthetized rat. Both peptides had no effect on basal blood glucose or plas...
