Abstract
Summary
The rapid phase insulin release induced by arginine in the puppy, was inhibited significantly by hypoxia, but not by epinephrine infusion. Based on these data we conclude that elevated epinephrine levels were not a major factor in the inhibition of the arginine effect caused by hypoxia. On the other hand, in the puppy, epinephrine may not produce sufficient alpha adrenergic stimulation to inhibit insulin release.
