TL;DR
Numerous epithelial cells in the oxyntic gland area of the stomach of cat and dog appear to store pancreatic-type glucagon, as evidenced by immunohistochemistry and—in the case of the dog—also by radioimmunoanalysis.
Abstract
Numerous epithelial cells in the oxyntic gland area of the stomach of cat and dog appear to store pancreatic-type glucagon, as evidenced by immunohistochemistry and--in the case of the dog--also by radioimmunoanalysis. No glucagon immunoreactive cells are found in the antropyloric mucosa. Disseminated cells in the intestinal mucosa store gut-type glucagon. In all species studied, these cells predominate in ileum and colon.

Evidence suggests that diabetes mellitus may not be the simple consequence of relative or absolute insulin deficiency by itself, but may require the presence of glucagon, which is compatible with a bihormonal-abnormality hypothesis.

The development of severe diabetic hyperglycemia requires the presence of glucagon, whether secreted by pancreatic or newly identified gastrointestinal A cells, as well as a lack of insulin, so glucagon suppression could improve therapeutic glucoregulation in diabetes.

Progressively increasing amounts of material crossreacting with “specific” antiglucagon sera appear in plasma of totally depancreatized dogs fasting for up to seven days, which appears to be the consequence of metabolic derangements induced by insulin lack.

Localization of the endocrine polypeptide cells responsible for `glucagon-like immunoreactivity' in the gastrointestinal tract of the dog has been achieved with an immunofluorescent technique using antibodies raised against porcine pancreatic glucagon.

Canine stomach glucagon appears to be similar to glucagon of pancreatic origin with respect to its immunoreactivity, its gel filtration elution pattern, and its in vivo hyperglycemic activity.

It is concluded that in the dogs, the ileum is a major source of enteroglucagon and that removal of the pancreas increases the secretion of this hormone, a phenomenon reversed in part by insulin therapy.
