Effects of glucagon on adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate and guanosine 3′,5′-monophosphate in human plasma and urine

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Glucagon, infused intravenously into fasting, well-hydrated, normal men in doses of 25-200 ng/kg per min, induced up to 30-fold increases in both plasma and urinary cyclic AMP. Cyclic GMP levels were unaffected by glucagon. Simultaneous cyclic AMP and inulin clearance studies demonstrated that the glucagon-induced increase in urinary cyclic AMP was entirely due to glomerular filtration of the elevated plasma levels of the nucleotide.
