Exocrine secretion from the pancreas and concentrations of cholecystokinin, gastrin, secretin, and somatostatin in plasma were measured in relation to feeding in 70- to 120-d-old preruminant calves fed either a milk diet or a soybean diet. Pancreatic fluid was continuously collected, measured, and reintroduced in catheterized calves. Blood samples were withdrawn for measurements of gut regulatory peptide concentrations in plasma. A slight increase in outflow of pancreatic fluid was observed 30 min before the milk diet was introduced but not before the soybean diet was fed. In contrast, concentrations and outflows of protein and trypsin immediately after feeding were higher when calves were fed the soybean diet. Overall, during the first 5 h postfeeding, the outflow of pancreatic fluid was 40% higher when the milk diet was fed than when the soybean diet was fed. No difference in outflow of protein was observed, but that of trypsin was 82% higher when the soybean diet was fed. This enhanced enzyme secretion could have been related to the increased plasma concentrations of gastrin and cholecystokinin after the soybean diet was fed. Secretin release was less in calves fed the milk diet that in calves fed the soybean diet during the first 2 h postfeeding, suggesting that this gut peptide along with gastrin and cholecystokinin, contributed to the stimulation of enzyme secretion. Plasma gut regulatory peptides could be influenced by the soybean diet, which does not coagulate in the stomach, inducing faster gastric emptying of protein and fat, and by the chemical form of protein from the soybean diet and the lower susceptibility of these proteins to protease compared with casein. However, the resulting enhancement of pancreatic trypsin secretion and activity seemed to be insufficient to increase the digestibility of soybean protein up to a level similar to that of milk.

Major features of pancreatic secretion stimulated by a meal depend on intestinal phase mechanisms. However, an intrajejunal (i.j.) meal infusion is widely used for the treatment of inflammatory pancreatic diseases when the resting of the gland is desired. This study was undertaken to compare the effects of an intragastric (i.g.) and an i.j. complete fluid (Lundh) test meal on pancreatic enzyme secretion. Eight men (mean age, 43 years; range, 31-48) free from pancreatic disease were studied. Pancreatic secretion was measured via a multiple-lumen tube by aspiration of the duodenal juice. After a fasting period, the Lundh test meal was placed in the stomach or the upper jejunum. After the i.g. administration of the test meal, the aspirated duodenal juice was reinfused into the jejunum. The effect of atropine infusion (0.5 microg/kg/h) on the pancreatic enzyme secretion was studied. The pancreatic amylase, trypsin, and lipase outputs were determined. The plasma levels of cholecystokinin (CCK) and of gastrin were measured by bioassay and radioimmunoassay, respectively. The trypsin, amylase, and lipase secretions increased significantly after either an i.g. or an i.j. test meal intake. The trypsin, amylase, and lipase outputs were significantly decreased during the i.j. perfusion as compared with i.g. administration. The gastrin levels increased significantly after i.g., but remained unchanged after i.j. administration. The CCK release attained its maximum 40 and 60 min after the i.g. and i.j. test meal, respectively. However, the CCK release was significantly lower during the i.j. administration as compared with i.g. perfusion. An atropine infusion significantly reduced the i.g. and i.j. test meal-stimulated enzyme outputs. An i.j.-administered meal stimulates the pancreatic enzyme secretion, but this effect is significantly lower than that which occurs on i.g. administration. The i.j. meal-stimulated secretion of pancreatic enzymes is subject to both cholinergic and peptidergic regulation. The deficiency of gastrin and the delayed and decreased CCK release are believed to account for the reduced enzyme output.

The acute effects of kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) E2L2 lectins (PHA) given orally to conscious rats or continually infused into the duodenum of anesthetized rats on blood cholecystokinin (CCK), secretin, and gastrin and on secretion of pancreatic digestive enzymes have been evaluated. PHA increased circulating levels of CCK and secretin but did not alter gastrin. In addition, PHA induced dose-dependent secretion of trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, and alpha-amylase by the pancreas in vivo. This pancreas output appeared to be modulated only in part through CCK. Thus pretreatment of rats with a CCK-A receptor antagonist (L-364718) attenuated the immediate (< or = 90 min) pancreas secretory response to PHA but could not prevent a PHA-associated increase in digestive enzyme output in the longer term (after 90 min). In contrast, treatment of rats with L-364718 abolished the stimulatory effects of soyabean trypsin inhibitors on digestive enzyme secretion in both the short and long term. Additional mechanisms or hormones, such as secretin, may play a role in modulating later exocrine pancreas responses to PHA.

Pancreaticobiliary diversion (PBD) and biliodigestive shunt (BDS) cause long-standing hypercholecystokininemia followed by pancreatic hyperplasia. These changes have been suggested to be due to the lack of intraluminal trypsin and bile, respectively, in the upper small intestine. The aim of these experiments was to study the effect of restoration of intraluminal trypsin and bile on plasma levels of cholecystokinin (CCK) and the changes found in exocrine and endocrine pancreas after PBD and BDS. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were used. PBD was done in 16 rats, eight of which had trypsin dissolved in 50 mM sodium bicarbonate (SB), and eight had SB only by gastric intubation twice daily. BDS was done in another 16 rats, eight of which had bile dissolved in SB, and eight had SB in a similar manner. Sham-operated rats had SB and served as controls. After 4 weeks, the rats were killed, and the concentrations of circulating CCK, gastrin, glucose, glucagon, and insulin were determined. The pancreas was removed, weighed, and analyzed for contents of water, protein, and DNA. In another study, PBD-operated rats got trypsin in varying dosages or trypsin and taurocholate in combination for 2 weeks before death. The concentrations of plasma CCK and glucagon were elevated after both PBD and BDS. PBD decreased the concentration of gastrin in plasma. PBD caused an increase of pancreatic weight and the contents of protein and DNA. Trypsin substitution to PBD-operated rats did not affect plasma CCK or glucagon levels, but the PBD-induced increases in weight and DNA content were counteracted by trypsin. Higher dosages of trypsin did not further influence the effects seen after PBD. Pancreatic weight and DNA content were increased after BDS. Bile administration completely abolished the increase in plasma CCK and glucagon, as well as the gain in pancreatic weight, and reduced the increase in pancreatic DNA. Substitution with bile to BDS-operated rats abolished the increase in the plasma levels of CCK and glucagon, as well as the trophic effects on the pancreas. Trypsin substitution to PBD-operated rats partly reversed the trophic effects on the pancreas but not the hormonal changes in plasma. Thus the trophic effects on the pancreas exerted by BDS seem to be dependent on the lack of bile in the upper small intestine, whereas the effects of PBD only partly are a consequence of the absence of intraluminal trypsin.

Effectiveness of dalargin and intravenous laser blood beaming (ILBB) in combined treatment of chronic alcoholic pancreatitis (CAP) was studied in 105 patients (8 females and 97 males) with CAP duration 1 to 25 years. Pancreatic function and treatment effects were studied by routine clinical investigations, advanced laboratory, biochemical tests, radioimmunossays. Pancreatic disorders in alcoholics present with high blood levels of trypsin and lipase, low levels of insulin and C-peptide. Serum concentrations of hydrocortisone and gastrin were elevated. Combined treatment of CAP with adjuvant dalargin and ILBB not only relieves clinical symptoms but also promotes normalization of pancreatic function.

The potential toxicity of dietary soy trypsin inhibitor (TI) was evaluated in neonatal miniature swine. From 1 to 6 weeks of age, two groups of male piglets were artificially reared in an Autosow and automatically fed either TI or control liquid diet. From 6 to 39 weeks of age, these two groups were fed either TI or control chow diet. A third group, sow control (SC), suckled from birth to 6 weeks of age, were also weaned to control chow from 6 to 39 weeks of age. Clinical chemistry and plasma cholecystokinin (CCK) determined at 6, 18, 30 and 39 weeks of age, and serum amylase activity with gross and histopathological analyses of major organs at 6 and 39 weeks of age are reported. TI had no effect on plasma CCK, serum amylase activity, or numerous clinical chemistry values. TI-fed piglets had a larger relative liver weight at 6 weeks of age. Relative pancreas weight decreased with age but was not affected by TI. Gross and histopathological analyses of major organs, except the spleen, were within normal limits. Increased incidence of extramedullary hematopoiesis was noted in the spleen of the TI group at 6 but not at 39 weeks of age. There was no consistent pattern in immunohistochemical foci for secretin, gastrin releasing polypeptide or CCK, and no change in DNA, RNA, mitotic index or nuclear density of pancreatic cells. At 6 weeks of age, TI increased pancreatic protein and amylase activity but not trypsin or chymotrypsin activity. None of the effects suggested that this dose of TI was toxic to either the neonatal or sexually mature miniature male swine.

In the nutritional management of digestive disorders, it is important to know the relative secretory and metabolic responses to enteral and parenteral feeding. Twenty-seven healthy volunteers were studied while receiving either oral drinks or duodenal infusions of a complex formula diet, duodenal or intravenous infusions of elemental (protein as free amino acids, low fat) formulae, or saline. Pancreaticobiliary secretory responses were measured by nasoduodenal polyethylene glycol perfusion and aspiration, while monitoring blood hormone and nutrient levels. Diets were matched for protein (1.5 g x kg(-1) x d(-1)) and energy (40 kcal x kg(-1) x d(-1)). Compared with placebo, all oroenteral diets stimulated amylase, lipase, trypsin, and bile acid secretion and increased plasma concentrations of gastrin and cholecystokinin, whereas intravenous feeding did not. The complex formula produced a similar response whether given as drinks or duodenal infusions. Changing the duodenal formula to elemental reduced enzyme secretion by 50%, independently of CCK. Higher increases in plasma insulin, glucose, and amino acids were noted with intravenous feeding. Delivering food directly to the intestine by a feeding tube does not reduce pancreaticobiliary secretion. Enteral "elemental" formulae diminish, but only intravenous feeding avoids pancreatic stimulation. Intravenous administration impairs metabolic clearance.

We investigated the changes in the capacity for synthesis of the exocrine pancreas of piglets during the 2 wk after weaning at 7 d of age (trial 1) by measuring the expression of digestive enzymes at mRNA and activity levels in pancreas homogenates, and the effects of high and low feed intakes during the 1st wk postweaning (trial 2) on these measures. The trypsin mRNA level was transiently decreased 43% 3 d postweaning (P < 0.05). Thereafter, trypsin and lipase mRNAs linearly increased (P < 0.05). During the 1st wk postweaning, trypsin- and lipase-specific activities were reduced 44 and 79% (P < 0.05), respectively, whereas 14 d after weaning, trypsin was at the preweaning value and lipase was at a low level. Amylase-specific activity did not change with weaning. Plasma cholecystokinin (CCK) and gastrin concentrations decreased 1 d postweaning and increased afterward up to 3 and 5 d postweaning, respectively. By 3 d after weaning, the mRNA level of trypsin was twofold higher (P < 0.05) in piglets that consumed more feed than in those that consumed less, whereas 7 d after weaning, the groups did not differ. By 7 d after weaning, the specific activity of amylase was higher, and lipase-specific activity was lower, in piglets that consumed more feed than in those that consumed less. Plasma CCK and gastrin concentrations measured 7 d after weaning were correlated with feed intake (r = +0.56 and r = +0.68, P < 0.05, respectively). In conclusion, by 3 d postweaning, pancreatic exocrine function was adapting to the new diet. Afterward, the expression of specific genes coding digestive enzymes and the levels of pancreatic enzyme activities were restored or stimulated, except for lipase-specific activity. Therefore, the pancreas can adjust to weaning and dry food intake as early as wk 2 of life.

The aim of present study was to evaluate the influence of surgical fundectomy and exogenous leptin on the secretion of pancreatic juice in anesthetized rats. In male Wistar rats major part of the gastric fundus was surgically removed, and 60 days afterwards the external jugular vein and the pancreatic-biliary duct were catheterized under general anesthesia. The pancreatic-biliary juice (PBJ) was collected in 15 min intervals without introducing it into the duodenum. Intravenous leptin infusions (0.1, 1.0 and 10 microg/kg body weight) were made every 30 min. The same protocol was used in control non operated rats. The PBJ volume was significantly lower in fundectomized rats as compared to control rats and showed no significant effect to exogenous leptin. The PBJ protein output but not trypsin activity was lower in fundectomized rats as compared to control. Leptin reduced the PBJ protein and trypsin outputs in a dose-related manner in the control and experimental group. The inhibition was, however, more evident in the fundectomized rats. Plasma gastrin was higher in fundectomized rats, while plasma leptin and ghrelin were lower. In conclusion, fundectomy seems to reduce the non stimulated pancreatic secretion and modifies the response to leptin in anesthetized rats.

Composite tumors of the stomach consisting of mixed glandular and endocrine components are rare. We report 3 cases of composite glandular and endocrine tumors with pancreatic acinar differentiation in the stomach with their clinicopathologic findings. The patients' presenting symptoms were variable and included abdominal pain, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, and weight loss. One patient with abdominal pain also had an elevated serum lipase level, clinically mimicking acute pancreatitis. The histology of these tumors was similar. They showed admixture of well-differentiated endocrine components with acinar and glandular components. The glandular component consisted of columnar epithelial cells resembling gastric foveolar or intestinal goblet cells, consistent with a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma. A panel of histochemical and immunohistochemical stains was performed, which included PAS, Alcian blue, Mib1, CEA, cytokeratin 7, cytokeratin 20, Muc2, Muc5AC, chromogranin, synaptophysin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, lipase, insulin, gastrin, serotonin, and pancreatic polypeptide. While the immunoreactivity for cytokeratin 7, cytokeratin 20, Muc2, Muc5AC, and CEA was largely restricted to the glandular component, the endocrine and pancreatic acinar markers showed marked variability and overlap. All cases showed immunoreactivity for at least one of the exocrine pancreatic enzymes, and all expressed endocrine differentiation. Some degree of amphicrine differentiation was suggested in all cases. Two cases showed metastases in perigastric lymph nodes, which histologically resembled the primary tumor. In summary, these tumors represent another distinct type of composite glandular and endocrine gastric neoplasm with pancreatic acinar differentiation.
