We examined the plasma amino acid profiles of 17 patients with pancreatic diabetes in comparison with those of 14 healthy subjects and 16 patients with primary diabetes of similarly poor glycemic control. We also measured fasting plasma glucagon and free insulin levels in patients with pancreatic diabetes and in those with primary diabetes. The fasting plasma amino acid level was highest in patients with pancreatic diabetes. Furthermore, the plasma glucagon level in patients with pancreatic diabetes was significantly low, and negative correlations were found between glucagon and glucagon-related System A and gluconeogenic amino acids. On the other hand, the levels of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) and System L amino acids, which are subjected to change in the state of diabetes mellitus, increased in patients with pancreatic diabetes. From the above results, we determined that the amino acid profile in patients with pancreatic diabetes resembled that in patients with total pancreatectomy. It is our opinion that the increases of amino acid levels (gluconeogenic and System A amino acids) in patients with pancreatic diabetes is not dependent on maldigestion/malabsorption under treatment, but is mainly dependent on glucagon deficiency.
