“…Concerning the action of gastrin on insulin secretion, several investigators (Unger et al, 1967;Unger and Eisentraut, 1969;Dupre et al, 1969;Kaneto et al, 1969;Ohgawara et al, 1969;Rehfeld and Stadil, 1973) have reported that gastrin stimulates insulin release, and others (Jarett et al, 1967;Lazarus et al, 1968;Buchanan et al, 1969;Pointner et al, 1974;Hayes et al, 1975b) have reported that gastrin has no effect on insulin release. This conflicting result may be in part due to the use of pharmacological doses of crude preparations of fragment of gastrin.…”
