Abstract
⺠We examined the effects of gastrin on plasma levels of hormones in cattle. ⺠Gastrin increased plasma ghrelin and GH levels, but decreased insulin levels. ⺠The GHS-R1a is not involved in the gastrin-induced GH release. ⺠Gastrin had no effect on plasma glucagon and glucose levels. ⺠Gastrin maintains the homeostasis of blood glucose via down-regulation of insulin.
