释义 | insulinn. Biochemistry. A polypeptide hormone (the amino-acid composition differing slightly from species to species) which is concerned with carbohydrate metabolism in man and some other vertebrates, being produced by the islets of Langerhans and having effects that include the removal of sugar from the blood (so that a deficiency of insulin causes diabetes mellitus) and the promotion of protein synthesis and fat storage. The name insulin(e) was proposed for the hormone on three separate occasions, each time independently: see quot. 1926. ΚΠ 1909 J. De Meyer in Archivio di Fisiol. VII. 96 Le produit de la sécrétion interne du pancréas (non denommé encore).., s'il dérive, comme nous le pensons, des ilots de Langerhans pourrait être appelé Insuline.] 1914 E. A. Schäfer Introd. Study Endocrine Glands 84 The results of pancreas-extirpation and pancreas-grafting can..be best explained by supposing that the islet-tissue produces an autacoid substance which passes into the blood and affects carbohydrate metabolism and carbohydrate storage in such a manner that there is no undue accumulation of glucose in the blood. Provisionally it will be convenient for description purposes to refer to this hypothetical autacoid as insuline. 1916 E. A. Schäfer Endocrine Organs xvii. 128 The islet tissue produces an autacoid which passes into the blood and affects carbohydrate metabolism...

[Note] The term was introduced by de Meyer (Arch. di fisiol., vii., 1909). In ignorance of this it was employed as a convenient term to denote the autacoid of the islet tissue in the first edition of this work, published in 1916.

Textbk. Med.
