1. The extent to which the splanchnic sympathetic innervation is implicated in the control of plasma glucagon concentration has been investigated in the young calf.2. Stimulation of the peripheral ends of both splanchnic nerves (0.5-10.0 c/s for 10 min) caused an abrupt increase in plasma glucagon concentration in adrenalectomized calves 3-5 weeks after birth. This effect was found to be statistically significant (P < 0.01) at each of these frequencies. In calves tested during the first 24 hr after birth comparatively small responses were obtained.3. The hyperglycaemia produced by splanchnic nerve stimulation in older calves caused an abrupt rise in plasma insulin concentration when stimulation was discontinued but insulin release was completely inhibited throughout the period of stimulation at all frequencies tested.4. It is concluded that tonic changes in sympathetic efferent activity are likely to modify plasma glucagon concentration in the normal conscious calf.

The mean plasma pancreatic glucagon level at birth in 44 normal infants delivered vaginally was 140 pg/ml. The simultaneous maternal level was 122 pg/ml which was not quite significantly different at the P [unk]0.05 level. 2 hours after birth 30 of these infants had a mean rise in plasma glucagon of 51 pg/ml (P [unk] 0.01), and their mothers had a fall of 38 pg/ml (P [unk] 0.05). The mean plasma pancreatic glucagon level at birth in 12 normal infants delivered by caesarean section was 130 pg/ml which did not differ significantly from the group delivered vaginally. The glucagon level at birth in 20 infants with fetal distress (fetal scalp pH [unk] 7.2 or umbilical artery pH [unk] 7.15) was 244 pg/ml, and this was significantly higher than for normal infants at birth (P [unk] 0.01). Whereas the rise in neonatal glucagon 2 hours after birth might have been caused by a mean fall in blood glucose of 23 mg/100 ml, the infants with fetal distress had normal glucose levels, so that another mechanism must be responsible for their raised glucagon.

Bloom SR, 1973, Glucagon, a stress hormone, Postgraduate Medical Journal, Vol: 49, Pages: 607-611, ISSN: 0032-5473
Glucagon is a catabolic hormone whose main immediate action is to raise blood glucose. In the healthy individual in a situation of stress an elevation of blood glucose above normal is advantageous and glucagon could be important in producing this. It has been shown that stimulation of the sympathetic nerves to the pancreas can cause a rapid and very large release of glucagon. Studies on baboons demonstrate that a similar pattern of very rapid release of glucagon occurs after pain or psychological stress. In man the elevated plasma glucagon noted in foetal distress, normal labor and fever may also be mediated by the sympathetic nervous system.

Two hours after birth 30 normal infants had a fall in blood glucose of 20.6 mg/100 ml and a rise of plasma pancreatic glucagon of 50.7 pg/ml. Fifteen infants of diabetic mothers treated with insulin had a much greater fall in blood glucose of 77.5 mg/100 ml and a smaller rise of glucagon of 20.9 pg/ml. By comparison 14 small-for-dates infants, who are also prone to hypoglycaemia, had a blood glucose fall of 32.8 mg/100 ml and a larger rise of pancreatic glucagon of 96.0 pg/ml. It is suggested that the impaired pancreatic glucagon rise in the infants of diabetic mothers may be a significant factor in their hypoglycaemia.

Bloom SR, 1972, An enteroglucagon tumour., Gut, Vol: 13, Pages: 520-523, ISSN: 0017-5749
A hormone-secreting renal tumour that affected small bowel structure, motility, and function has been described by Gleeson et al (1971). The present studies show that the large amount of glucagon-like immunoreactivity which could be extracted from this tumour had the molecular weight, action on plasma insulin and glucose in vivo, and immunological reactions of the gut hormone enteroglucagon. This is the first enteroglucagonoma to be reported.

A 44-year-old woman is described with an endocrine tumour arising in the kidney. There were associated abnormalities of small intestinal morphology, motility, and absorptive function. These abnormalities reversed on removal of the tumour. Detailed studies showed that the tumour contained, and was secreting, glucagon. It is postulated that the intestinal abnormalities may have resulted from glucagon itself or another, as yet unidentified, hormone.
Polak JM, Bloom S, Coulling I, et al., 1971, Immunofluorescent localization of enteroglucagon cells in the gastrointestinal tract of the dog., Gut, Vol: 12, Pages: 311-318, ISSN: 0017-5749
Localization of the endocrine polypeptide cells responsible for ;glucagon-like immunoreactivity' in the gastrointestinal tract of the dog has been achieved with an immunofluorescent technique using antibodies raised against porcine pancreatic glucagon. The cells, for which we prefer the term ;enteroglucagon', could only be demonstrated by this technique in tissues fixed in carbodiimide. The enteroglucagon cells possess cytological, cytochemical, and ultrastructural characteristics in common with those of the pancreatic alpha(2) cell and they are equivalent in the stomach to the A cell and in the intestine to the L cell of the Wiesbaden terminology. Their distribution, predominantly in fundus and jejunum, correlates precisely with the distribution of glucagon-like immunoreactivity by radioimmunoassay and bioassay. The storage form of enteroglucagon differs in many respects from that of pancreatic glucagon although there are some close resemblances between the two forms of specific hormone-containing granule. Elucidation of the role of enteroglucagon should be assisted by the ability to demonstrate enteroglucagon cells.
