Bovine pancreatic polypeptide was infused intravenously in 16 healthy volunteers at a mean dose of 218 pmol/kg/hr, producing plasma levels similar to those after meals. Basal and pentagastrin-stimulated acid and pepsin outputs and plasma gastrin concentrations were unchanged by BPP. Pancreatic polypeptide is unlikely to be an important physiological modulator of these secretions in man.

The proximal duodenum of eight marsupial species, (koala, common brushtail possum, ring-tailed possum, common wombat, great grey kangaroo, parma wallaby, short-nosed bandicoot and tiger cat) were investigated immunohistochemically using 12 specific antisera for gut hormones. Several types of immunoreactive cells were seen on the intestinal villi and in crypts of these species: 9 types in the koala; 8 types in the common brushtail possum; 7 types in the common wombat; 6 types in the short-nosed bandicoot and 5 types in the ringtailed possum, great grey kangaroo, parma wallaby and tiger cat. Gastrin-, somatostatin-, motilin- and serotonin-immunoreactive cells were seen in all species examined. A few BPP-, enteroglucagon-, CCK-, secretin-, GIP- and neurotensin-immunoreactive cells were seen but only in few species. A few substance P-immunoreactive cells were detected only in the koala. Immunoreactive cells were also seen in Brunner's glands: 5 types in the parma wallaby; 3 types in the great grey kangaroo and tiger cat; 2 types in the koala and common wombat; 1 type in the short-nosed bandicoot. No immunoreactive cells were found in Brunner's glands of the common brushtail possum.

The distribution of enteroendocrine cells showing immunoreactivities to four peptides and one amine was examined in the gastric mucosa of the opossum during postnatal development using specific immunocytochemical methods. Gastrin-, BPP-, glucagon-, somatostatin- and 5-HT-immunoreactive cells were identified in the gastric mucosa of the newborn opossum. Gastrin-immunoreactive cells were restricted to the epithelial lining of the pylorus; glucagon-immunoreactive cells were seen only in the epithelium of the fundus. Somatostatin- and 5-HT-immunoreactive cells were found in the epithelium of both fundic and pyloric regions. BPP-immunoreactive cells were the most numerous endocrine cell type seen in the gastric epithelium of the newborn opossum and although found mainly at the confluence of the fundic and pyloric regions, were confined primarily to the fundus in the one week old opossum and all older animals. A marked increase in all five immunoreactive cell types was seen by the end of the first postnatal week. Gastrin-immunoreactive cells were the most numerous at this time and exceeded adult numbers. Both glucagon- and BPP-immunoreactive cells were confined to the fundic glands of older animals and showed the same pattern of decline with age. Somatostatin- and 5-HT-immunoreactive cells showed a shift in population from the fundus to the pylorus with age and together with gastrin-immunoreactive cells were restricted to a narrow zone at the bottoms of the gastric pits and the upper parts of the pyloric glands.

The distribution and quantification of enteroendocrine cells exhibiting immunoreactivities to nine peptides and one amine were examined in the gastrointestinal mucosa of the adult opossum using specific immunocytochemical methods. In the stomach, 90% of the enteroendocrine cells are confined to the pyloric glands and this region contained 73% of the gastrin-containing cells, 60% of the somatostatin-containing cells and 9% of cells reactive for 5-HT. Enteroendocrine cells showing immunoreactivities to glucagon, pancreatic polypeptide, somatostatin and 5-HT were observed scattered within the oxyntic glands. Only somatostatin and 5-HT positive cells were found in the cardiac glands. Immunoreactivities to CCK, glucagon, gastrin, BPP, somatostatin, secretin, motilin, neurotensin, GIP and 5-HT were observed in the epithelium of the small intestine. Although considerable variation exists in the distribution of individual enteroendocrine cell types along the intestinal tract, nearly equal numbers of enteroendocrine cells were observed in each segment. The percentage of enteroendocrine cells increases distally in the colon. Of the three enteroendocrine cell types present, somatostatin- and 5-HT-immunoreactive cells are evenly distributed, whereas neurotensin-immunoreactive cells increase in numbers distally, resulting in an increase in total number.

A biologically active gastrin analogue, [125I](Nle11)-HG-13, appears to bind specifically to saturable binding sites on isolated rabbit gastric mucosal cells: Kd = 70 pM at pH 7.4 and at 37 degrees C. Increasing incubation temperature from +4 degrees C to +37 degrees C increased specific binding. Gastrin binding was shown to be reversible and the dissociation rate was enhanced with cold gastrin. The binding sites were saturated with 0.2 fmol of labelled gastrin per 10(6) mucosal cells. Gastrin binding was not inhibited by secretin, glucagon, Met-enkephalin, physalaemin, eledoisin, BPP, VIP, carbachol, histamine, atropine or cimetidine. Gastrin analogues (HG-4, HG-8, (Leu15)-HG-17), CCK-7 and gastrin antagonists (proglumide or benzotript) inhibited [125I](Nle11)-HG-13 specific binding. We concluded that isolated cells from rabbit gastric fundic mucosa contain high-affinity binding sites for a gastrin analogue (Nle11)-HG-13.

The gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) endocrine cells of the sheep were studied immunocytochemically and their distribution and frequency were determined. Eleven types of endocrine cells were revealed. In the abomasum, somatostatin-, gastrin-, glucagon- and glicentin-immunoreactive cells were detected with the highest frequency in the pyloric region. In the small intestine, somatostatin-, gastrin-, CCK-, motilin-, neurotensin-, secretin-, substance P-, glucagon-, glicentin- and BPP-immunoreactive cells were found and were most numerous in the duodenum except for neurotensin-, glucagon- and glicentin-immunoreactive cells which were more concentrated in the ileum. In the large intestine, somatostatin-, substance P-, glucagon-, glicentin- and BPP-immunoreactive cells were localized with the last three cell types being more concentrated in the rectum. In the pancreas, somatostatin-, glucagon-, glicentin-, BPP- and insulin-immunoreactive cells predominated within the islets and were also scattered in the exocrine portion and rarely detected in duct epithelial cells. The differences between the distribution and frequency of the GEP endocrine cells of the sheep and those of monogastric species are discussed.

The regional distribution and relative frequency of endocrine cells in the alimentary tract of the red-eared slider, Trachemys scripta elegans, were investigated by immunohistochemical methods using 10 antisera. Most of the immunoreactive cells in the intestine were spherical or spindle-like in shape (open-type cells), while round cells (closed-type cells) were occasionally found in the stomach. These immunoreactive cells were located in the basal portion of the intestine, including the oesophagus, and in the gastric glands of the stomach. Cg A-immunoreactive cells were restricted to the pylorus and duodenum and were few in number. Serotonin-immunoreactive cells, which were most commonly found in the pylorus, were found in the epithelia throughout the alimentary tract at various frequencies. Gastrin-immunoreactive cells were found in the pylorus, duodenum and jejunum at moderate, low and very low frequencies, respectively. Somatostatin-immunoreactive cells were found throughout the alimentary tract except for the rectum, at various frequencies. Glucagon-immunoreactive cells were detected in the fundus, pylorus, jejunum and ileum at low or very low frequencies. CCK-8-immunoreactive cells were found in the pylorus, fundus and duodenum at very low, low and moderate frequencies, respectively. Bombesin-immunoreactive cells were restricted to the fundus and pylorus at low frequencies. No secretin-, BPP- or VIP-immunoreactive cells were found in this study.

The distribution and relative frequency of six kinds of endocrine cells in the stomach of the Malayan pangolin, Manis javanica were studied immunohistochemically using the avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex method. The stomach of the pangolin has three regions of mucous gland, one oxyntic gland and one pyloric gland. Cells immunoreactive for chromogranin, serotonin, somatostatin, BPP and glucagon were detected in all of the gastric glands, while gastrin-immunoreactive cells were found in the entire gastric gland except for the oxyntic gland. The distribution pattern of endocrine cells in the mucous gland and pyloric gland was mainly from the middle to apical portions of the glands. The endocrine cells were rare or not detected in the basal portion of all of the mucous glands and pyloric gland, but they were also found in the basal portion of the oxyntic gland. The distribution pattern of the endocrine cells in the mucous and pyloric glands suggested that this position facilitates a quick response to the luminal ingesta. The wide distribution of gastrin-immunoreactive cells in all of the mucous glands and pyloric gland was the most remarkable finding. This distribution suggests a major function of gastrin-immunoreactive cells for the digestive process in the Malayan pangolin stomach.

The aim of this work was to study in vivo the effect of ingestion of phosphopeptides (PP) alone or associated with caseinomacropeptide (CMP) on gastric secretion and to elucidate some possible mechanisms involved. Seven calves fitted with a gastric pouch received either a diet based on whey proteins without PP and CMP (C diet) or C diet in which PP or PP+CMP was introduced at concentrations similar to that of PP or PP+CMP in cow milk (PP diet and PP+CMP diet, respectively). Gastric juice secretion was measured during successive periods throughout the day. Twenty-four calves were fitted with a catheter introduced in one external jugular vein for blood sample collections. The daily secretion of electrolytes decreased with the presence of PP or PP+CMP in the diet. During the day, peptide supplementation in the diet resulted in (1) short term (1st-2nd postprandial h), a decrease of secreted quantities of gastric juice, enzymes and electrolytes, (2) long term (7-24h after the morning meal), a decrease of electrolyte secretions. Intervention of gastrin, CCK, somatostatin and BPP could be probable. Globally, inhibition of gastric secretions seemed more important when PP was given in association with CMP in the diet rather than alone. CMP and PP may have short and long term action respectively over the 24h day. To our knowledge, it is the first time that phosphopeptides coming from milk casein digestion are demonstrated to inhibit gastric secretion. Therapeutic uses are suggested.
