To investigate the biological activities of islets-activating protein (IAP) derived from Bordetella pertussis culture medium.
Purification of IAP from Bordetella pertussis culture medium
Intravenous injection of 1 microgram of IAP into rats
Assessment of insulin secretory responses over 3 to 10 days post-injection.
Rats exhibited significantly enhanced insulin secretion in response to glucose and hormonal stimuli (glucagon, epinephrine).
Maximal effects lasted up to 2 months with 1-2 micrograms of IAP injected.
Significant correlation between enhanced insulin secretion and suppression of epinephrine-induced hyperglycemia.
