THE EFFECT OF GLUCAGON ON PLASMA CALCIUM ION ACTIVITY IN THE MONKEY

A. Raman 1

1 Department of Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Using a newly developed calcium-sensitive electrode, the effect of glucagon on the plasma ionic calcium in monkeys was investigated. It was observed that the hormone causes a significant depression of both the total and ionic calcium levels.

Note:

The author wishes to express his gratitude to Dr William Bromer of the Lilly Research Laboratories for a generous supply of crystalline glucagon and to Professor A. C. Brown of the University of Washington for helpful discussions. The expert assistance of Mrs P. Y. Leong and Miss Y. K. Chong greatly facilitated this study.
