The seric levels of gastrin, pancreatic glucagon, pancreatic polypeptide, enteroglucagon, motilin and cholecistokinin were evaluated in ten patients with chronic Chagas' disease and compared with those observed in nine normal control subjects. The seric values of all the hormones were determined on basal stimulation, after continuous intravenous secretin infusion and infusion of stepwise increased concentrations of caerulein (direct stimulation), and after intravenous secretin administration followed by intraduodenal instilation of increased concentrations of phenylalanina (combined stimulation). All the hormones, basal and after direct stimulation, showed similar values, except gastrin that in the chagasic group presented higher levels than in control subjects. Phenylalanine and pancreatic polypeptide showed significantly higher values in the control group than in the one of patients with Chagas' disease. The hormonal response in patients with chronic Chagas' disease suggested a neural impairment of the enteropancreatic axis.

Individual l-amino acids were instilled intragastrically to determine possible differences in stimulation of gastric acid secretion and gastrin and pancreatic polypeptide release. Phenylalanine and tryptophan were significantly more potent stimulants of gastric acid secretion and of pancreatic polypeptide and gastrin release than any of the other amino acids tested. Smaller, but significant, responses were obtained with threonine for pancreatic polypeptide and with serine for acid secretion. We conclude that a major part of the acid-stimulating action of mixed amino acid solution can be explained by the aromatic amino acids, phenylalanine and tryptophan, which are also the most potent stimulants of gastrin and pancreatic polypeptide release. These studies suggest that the specific composition of amino acid mixtures determines the net effects of such mixtures on gastric secretion, and on release of both the antral hormone gastrin and the pancreatic hormone, pancreatic polypeptide.

Phenylalanine tRNA identity has been determined in the bacteria and the eukaryote system, but remains unknown for the archaea system. To investigate the molecular recognition mechanism of phenylalanine tRNA by phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase from hyperthermophilic and aerobic archaeon, Aeropyrum pernix K1, various mutant transcripts of phenylalanine tRNA prepared by an in vitro transcription system were examined by overexpressed A. pernix phenylalanyl tRNA synthetase. The results indicated that anticodon nucleotides G34, A35 and A36, discriminator base A73 and G20 in the variable pocket were base-specifically recognized by A. pernix phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase.
