“…Although there have been several reports suggesting a direct feedback inhibition of insulin by insulin (Best & Haist, 1941;Sodoyez et al, 1964;Logothetopoulos et al, 1965;Sodoyez et al, 1969;Chu & Goodner, 1968;Hellman & Lernmark, 1969;Iversen & Miles, 1971;Hahn & Micheal, 1971) some workers found no inhibition (Grodsky et al, 1968b;Malaisse et al, 1967;Sando et al, 1970) However, in man, it has not yet been documented whether insulin secretion is influenced by the blood level of insulin. In order to investigate any presence of a feedback mechanism of insulin secretion, the effect of prior infusion of bonito insulin upon glucose-induced insulin secretion in man was studied.…”
