Glucose utilization in isolated pancreatic islets of the rat was inhibited by prostaglandin (PG) E2and theα2adrenoceptor agonist, clonidine, to a similar extent; other prostaglandins did not affect glucose utilization. Islet oxidation of [1-14C]glucose and [6-14C]glucose demonstrated that the pentose phosphate shunt was inhibited by PGE2and clonidine. Pertussis toxin antagonizes the effects of clonidine and PGE2on total glucose utilization and pentose phosphate shunt activity. The results suggest that PGE2andα2adrenoceptor agonists may regulate glucose metabolism through similar transduction mechanisms, and that a guanine nucleotide binding regulatory (G) protein modulates certain metabolic effects of prostaglandins and adrenergic agonists.
