In isolated pancreatic islets of rats, exogenous phospholipase A2 produced concentration-dependent insulin secretion. p-Bromophenacyl bromide-treated enzyme no longer showed the insulinotropic effect. The insulinotropic effect of phospholipase A2 was inhibited by nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) and 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidinone (Phenidone) but not by indomethacin. Exogenous phospholipase C also demonstrated a concentration-related insulinotropic effect. The phospholipase C-induced insulin secretion, however, was inhibited by none of the above inhibitors. These results indicate that a lipoxygenase product(s) is involved in the insulinotropic action of phospholipase A2.
