Abstract

In streptozotocin-diabetic rats treated with insulin replacement, liver glycogen is some 35% depleted. Five consecutive daily subcutaneous injections with amylin dose-dependently restored liver glycogen to normal levels. Significant increases over insulin-only therapy occurred with amylin doses of 10, 30 and 100 micrograms/day, representing amylin: insulin ratios of 0.22, 0.75 and 2.79.
