Morphine, opioid peptides, and pancreatic islet function.

D Giugliano

    Diabetes Care
    |January 1, 1984

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Opiates impact the endocrine pancreas, affecting insulin and glucagon secretion. Chronic opiate use in narcotic addicts impairs glucose recognition by pancreatic beta-cells, similar to non-insulin-dependent diabetes.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Neuropharmacology
    • Metabolic research

    Background:

    • Opiate peptides, such as enkephalins, have garnered significant research interest.
    • Understanding the interaction between opiates and the endocrine pancreas is crucial for metabolic research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the effects of exogenous and endogenous opiates on pancreatic hormone release.
    • To investigate the hormonal and metabolic consequences of chronic opiate administration.

    Main Methods:

    • In vitro and in vivo animal studies examining opioid effects on pancreatic hormone secretion.
    • Analysis of hormonal and metabolic profiles in narcotic addicts, including glycosylated hemoglobin A1 and insulin response to glucose and arginine.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • In vitro studies yielded inconclusive results due to numerous variables.
    • In vivo animal studies suggest central opiate administration impairs insulin secretion via the sympathetic nervous system, while peripheral administration stimulates insulin and glucagon.
    • Narcotic addicts exhibit elevated glycosylated hemoglobin A1 and reduced acute insulin response to glucose, indicating defective glucose recognition by beta-cells.

    Conclusions:

    • Opiate effects on pancreatic hormone release are complex and context-dependent.
    • Chronic opiate use in humans leads to impaired glucose homeostasis and beta-cell dysfunction.
    • Narcotic addiction shares metabolic similarities with non-insulin-dependent diabetes regarding glucose signal response.
