1 The effect of atropine (0.2 mg/kg) on the release of insulin from the pancreas, in response to both exogenous and endogenous hyperglycaemia, has been investigated in conscious 2- to 5-week-old calves. Atropine insulin Bos taurus
2 2 The rise in mean plasma insulin concentration in response to infusions of glucose, which raised the concentration of glucose in the plasma by about 4.0 mmol/l, was significantly depressed in calves with cut splanchnic nerves by prior administration of atropine. Atropine insulin Bos taurus
3 The rise in plasma insulin concentration, which normally follows stimulation of the splanchnic nerves in the conscious calf (Bloom & Edwards, 1980), was almost completely suppressed by prior administration of atropine. Atropine insulin Bos taurus
