Crude preparations of secretin or pancreozymin increased and at higher concentrations decreased guanylate cyclase (GTP pyophosphate-lyase, EC 4.6.1.2) activity from soluble and particulate fractions of rat liver homogenates. Partially purified and synthetic secretin were without effect as was the biologically active octapeptide fragment of pancreozymin. The active contaminants in these preparations survived boiling, saponification, and treatment with phospholipase A, trypsin and neuraminidase C. The activity was extractable with chloroform/methanol and did not survive ashing. Eight bile salt contaminants in crude secretin were obtained with thin-layer chromatography. Two of the contaminating bile salts that increased liver particulate guanylate cyclase activity were identified as taurodeoxycholate and either glycochenodeoxycholate or glycodeoxycholate; taurocholate was inhibitory. The sodium salts of cholate, deoxycholate, chenodeoxycholate and their glycine-or taurine-conjugated forms either increased or decreased particulate and soluble rat liver guanylate cyclase activity depending upon their concentration. Thus, the previously reported stimulatory and inhibitory effects of secretin and pancreozymin preparations on guanylate cyclase activity are probable attributable to their bile salt contaminants.

Gallbladder storage and emptying patterns were studied in fasting normal subjects by a duodenal perfusion technique using indocyanine green as a biliary marker. Fasting gallbladder storage patterns were very variable but a more uniform biliary output with net storage of about 40% of the biliary marker was observed during a simulated interprandial state (2--4 h after meals) produced by a low dose intravenous infusion of secretin and caerulein. With this background hormonal stimulation, infusion of bovine pancreatic polypeptide to achieve physiological interprandial levels promoted further gallbladder storage of bile. Bovine pancreatic polypeptide produced storage by a major effect on the gallbladder rather than on the liver, common bile duct or sphincter of Oddi since a reduction of biliary output was not observed during bovine pancreatic polypeptide infusion in cholecystectomized subjects. Bovine pancreatic polypeptide had a separate effect on the pancreas, reducing trypsin output in both normal and cholecystectomized subjects.

Dterminations of 75selenium radioactivity and pancreatic enzyme in duodenal aspirate were carried out in 50 patients after i. v. injection of selenomethionine-75Se. After standardized excitation of the pancreas with pancreozymin-secretin, a significant correlation (r = 0.654) between excreted 75Se radioactivity and trypsin production could be established. The test is suitable for the recording of exocrine pancreas function while avoiding expensive enzymatic methods. The combined use of pancreas scintigraphy--using the double radionuclide substraction technique-with the radioselenomethionine test (RSMT) provides comprehensive diagnostic information on the morphology and function of the pancreas.

Residual beta cell function was studied in 18 juvenile-onset diabetics by measuring serum C-peptide immunoreactivity (CPR) fasting, and after IV injection of glucagon (1 mg). This was compared with the exocrine pancreatic response to an IV infusion of secretin and cholecystokinin-pancreozymin. Outputs of pancreatic bicarbonate, amylase and trypsin were measured. Exocrine secretory pancreatic function was decreased in 14 patients. Fasting and maximal CPR showed that 9 patients had residual insulin secretion. For these 'CPR-secretors' there was a strong correlation between CPR and output of bicarbonate (r = 0.87, p less than 0.005) and amylase (r = 0.7, p less than 0.05), but not with trypsin. These results suggest the existence of an endocrine-exocrine relationship in the pancreas.

The release of enterokinase into human duodenal fluid was studied after intravenous injections of secretin and cholecystokinin-pancreozymin (CCK-PZ). In five control subjects there was a significant release of the enzyme after stimulation with either hormone. A similar release of enterokinase was observed after hormonal stimulation in three patients with total biliary obstruction and in four patients with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency. These results suggest that the hormone-mediated release of enterokinase is independent of bile salts and trypsin in man. This release of enterokinase into duodenal fluid may be physiologically important in protein digestion.

Precise relationships between pancreatic ductal obstruction and pancreatic secretory capacity have not been established. In this study, we describe the quantitative relationships between the lengths of opacified ducts obtained at retrograde pancreatography and the secretory capcity of the gland for volume, bicarbonate, lipase, and trypsin. Forty-five patients (17 with pancreatic cancer, 6 pancreatitis, 5 other malignancies, and 17 nonmalignant, nonpancreatic disease found at laparotomy) were studied with a method of duodenal intubation and perfusion with basal saline perfusion alone or with continuous intravenous infusion of secretin or of cholecystokinin-pancreozymin. Secretory outputs of volume, bicarbonate, and enzymes compared with the length of opacified ducts showed a significant (P less than 0.05) linear relationship for patients with pancreatic cancer, pancreatitis, and other cancers. The resulting data imply that obstruction of the pancreatic duct is important in decreasing secretion of the pancreas in pancreatic disease. The relationship between obstruction and pancreatic secretion demonstrates that a decrease in exocrine pancreatic secretion cannot be detected until more than 60% of the total length of the main pancreatic duct has been obstructed.

The possible role of calcium in human bile during the biliary stimulated exocrine pancreatic secretion was investigated in 15 healthy volunteers. Total outputs of trypsin, bicarbonate, bilirubin and volume in the duodenal juice and serum gastrin were measured during a continuous intravenous infusion of secretion (0.5 CHR U/kg/h) for 40 min. The same parameters were determined after a single intraduodenal dose of Ca++ (20 ml 13,5, 135 or 270 mval/l, n = 5 for each dose) and compared with aequivalent intraduodenal dose of Na+ and an intravenous dose of secretion/cholecystokinin (1 CHR and IDU U/kg). Low calcium (13,5 mval/l) had no effect on the output of pancreatic enzymes and bile. However the higher doses led to a significant increases of the outputs of trypsin and bilirubin, which was about 75% of the enhancement seen with secretin/cholecystokinin in the dose used. Serumgastrin secretion was significantly increased only after the higher calcium doses.--Serum insulin in peripheral venous blood venous blood was unchanged after duodenal application of 20 ml 270 mval/l calcium (n = 5). From these data one has to conclude that the Ca++-content of bile has no stimulatory effect on the exocrine pancreas and on serum gastrin and insulin.

The effect of gastric distension on pancreatic secretion of bicarbonate and trypsin was studied in 10 individuals in the basal state or during stimulation with low and high doses of secretin or secretin plus cholecystokinin (CCK). Gastric distension augmented the pancreatic response to secretin but had no consistent effect on the pancreatic response to combination of secretin and CCK. We conclude that gastropancratic reflexes do not have much functional significance in man.

The purpose of the study was to examine the secretory response of the exocrine pancreas in man to various doses of the synthesised decapeptide Caerulein (Takus), 5, 10 and 20 ng/kg Caerulein injected intravenously during an infusion of 0,5 CU/kg/h Secretin (GIH) produced a linear increase of enzyme secretion (amylase, lipase, trypsin and chymotrypsin) and also an increase in the water and bicarbonate secretion of the pancreas which is induced by Secretin. The injection of 40 ng/kg Caerulein led to no further increase of the ecbolic function. The intravenous injection of 1 Ivy dog unit (IDU/kg and 20 and 40 ng/kg Caerulein have an identical effect on the exocrine pancreas, there were no statistic differences.

The newly synthesized chromogenic substrate Nalpha-tosyl-L-arginine-p-nitroanilide (TAPA) was used to determine the trypsin activity (as the concentration and output in 20-min samples) of the duodenal contents before and after hormonal stimulation with cholecystokinin-pancreozymin (CPZ) and secretin (S). The results were compared with those obtained by means of Nalpha-benzoyl-D,L-arginine-p-nitroanilide (BAPA) and the Nalpha-tosyl-L-arginine methylester (TAME). The synthetic substrates were compared in 17 subjects with normal and in 8 subjects with pathological CPZ-S test values. A high degree of correlation was found in every case between the values obtained by means of the given substrates and it actually proved possible to determine the conversion coefficients for the trypsin concentration (BAPA = 1.306 TAPA, TAME = 0.509 TAPA) and for trypsin output (BAPA = 1.306 TAPA, TAME = 0.535 TAPA). The results demonstrate the usefulness of our new chromogenic substrate TAPA, which is more readily available and cheaper than BAPA and TAME for determining trypsin activity in biological material.
