Pancreatic sympathetic nerves contribute to increased glucagon secretion during severe hypoglycemia in dogs.
To determine if pancreatic sympathetic nerves can contribute to increased glucagon secretion during hypoglycemia, plasma glucagon and pancreatic glucagon secretion in situ were measured before and during insulin-induced hypoglycemia in three groups of halothane-anesthetized dogs. All dogs were bilaterally vagotomized to eliminate the input from pan...
