In the cat, gastric lipase secretion was equally but weakly stimulated by pentagastrin, a major stimulant of acid secretion, and by carbamylcholine, a major stimulant of pepsin secretion. Lipase was also stimulated by fresh liver, which induces a large blood gastrin release and not by canned food, which is a poor gastrin releaser. Lipase output always preceded that of acid an pepsin. Lipase was not correlated with acid and pepsin secretion while acid and pepsin were well correlated during all stimulations but not in basal state. Lipase is co-localized with pepsin in the chief cells but is also present in pepsin-free cells, the mucus surface cells of the fundus and the antrum. The distribution of lipase explains the lack of correlation between pepsin and lipase as already mentioned. However, our data show that lipase secretion is under the control of gastric stimulants and might play a role in the gastric initiation of pancreatic meal lipolysis.

The kinetics of the gastric secretion of lipase, pepsin and acid were studied after a meal in Heidenhain-pouch rabbits. After a 24-h fast, feeding immediately stimulated (< 15 min) lipase (x 4.1) and later on pepsin (x 1.8) output which reached respectively 16 and 47% of the output observed after pentagastrin stimulation (64 micrograms.kg-1.h-1 for 1 h), and which were significantly correlated. Lipase concentration was enhanced earlier and to a greater degree (x 7.3) than pepsin concentration (x 2.5). No stimulation of high basal acid secretion occurred. It was concluded that: 1) gastric lipase secretion is stimulated by feeding in the rabbit; 2) pepsin secretion is stimulated by feeding. The modalities of the secretion of lipase and pepsin are compatible with the existence of distinct secretory cells; 3) acid secretion is not stimulated by feeding. The decrease in acid secretion during the post-prandial phase favors a physiological role for lipase which is altered by low pH. The absence of acid stimulation by feeding in the rabbit, in contrast to other species, requires additional studies on the release of gastrointestinal hormones, namely gastrin, cholecystokinin and somatostatin.

Our purpose was to examine gastric lipase secretion after cephalic stimulation (sham feeding) and to examine the effect of cholinergic blockade. Eight healthy volunteers, four women and four men, age 21-58 years, were studied twice on separate days. They were sham fed with and without infusion of atropine. Gastric content was measured and the amount as well as the activity of gastric lipase output were determined. Plasma concentrations of gastrin, secretin, and cholecystokinin (CCK) were measured simultaneously by radioimmunoassays. Cephalic stimuli can evoke human gastric lipase secretion, and this effect was almost ablated by atropine blockade of cholinergic receptors. The concentrations of CCK and secretin in plasma were unaffected by sham feeding with or without atropine blockade, whereas gastrin was stimulated by sham feeding after atropine blockade. Gastric lipase secretion in man is apparently controlled by interacting vagal and hormonal mechanisms.

Gastric lipase (HGL) contributes significantly to fat digestion. However, little is known about its neurohormonal regulation in humans. We studied the role of CCK and cholinergic mechanisms in the postprandial regulation of HGL and pancreatic lipase (HPL) secretion in six healthy subjects. Gastric emptying of a mixed meal and outputs of HGL, pepsin, acid, and HPL were determined with a double-indicator technique. Three experiments were performed in random order: intravenous infusion of 1) placebo, 2) low-dose atropine (5 micrograms.kg-.h-1), and 3) the CCK-A receptor antagonist loxiglumide (22 mumol.kg-.h-1). Atropine decreased postprandial outputs of HGL, pepsin, gastric acid, and HPL (P < 0.03) while slowing gastric emptying (P < 0.05). Loxiglumide markedly increased the secretion of HGL, pepsin, and acid while distinctly reducing HPL outputs and accelerating gastric emptying (P < 0.03). Plasma CCK and gastrin levels increased during loxiglumide infusion (P < 0.03). Atropine enhanced gastrin but not CCK release. Postprandial HGL, pepsin, and acid secretion are under positive cholinergic but negative CCK control, whereas HPL is stimulated by cholinergic and CCK mechanisms. We conclude that CCK and cholinergic mechanisms have an important role in the coordination of HGL and HPL secretion to optimize digestion of dietary lipids in humans.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) may be one of the enterogastrone hormones of the ileal brake mechanism. We therefore studied its effects on gastric lipase secretion in healthy volunteers and vagotomized patients during infusion of pentagastrin. The intestinal incretin hormone GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1, 7-36 amide) was investigated because of its inhibitory effects on gastric acid secretion and motility. GLP-1 infused intravenously in amounts corresponding to the postprandial release significantly inhibited pentagastrin-stimulated gastric lipase secretion and lipolytic activity. The inhibitory effect of GLP-1 persisted in vagotomized patients, suggesting that fundic chief cells, from which gastric lipase is released, or neighboring inhibitory cells could be equipped with GLP-1 receptors. Vagotomized patients had significantly higher plasma concentrations of gastrin and secretin. No significant changes of gastrin, secretin, and CCK secretion were seen during GLP-1 infusion in the vagotomized patients, whereas secretin decreased significantly in the healthy volunteers. GLP-1 seems to be a naturally occurring inhibitor of gastric lipase secretion acting via a nonvagal mechanism. Our results indicate that gastric lipase secretion is subject to hormonal stimulatory as well as inhibitory mechanisms.

Seven healthy volunteers were intubated with two double lumen nasogastric tubes, one in the stomach, the other in the duodenum. This system allows simultaneous sampling of gastric juice and separate intraduodenal perfusion with a dietary fat (fish oil, 1269 kJ). Gastrin-17 was infused i.v. at a rate of 40 pmol/kg/h throughout the study. Gastric lipase was measured at 15-min intervals as activity (tributyrin) and as immunoreactivity (ELISA). Infusion of gastrin-17 resulted in a stable increase in the plasma concentration from a basal concentration of 8.3 +/- 0.8 pmol/l to 41.4 +/- 4.2 pmol/l. Perfusion with fat reduced gastric lipase activity from 24.2 +/- 5.3 to 7.2 +/- 2.5 kU/l (P < 0.05), and immunoreactivity from 0.7 +/- 0.1 to 0.42 +/- 0.1 mg/l (P < 0.05). After termination of fat perfusion, gastric lipase secretion increased again, though not reaching preinhibitory concentrations. During the intraduodenal perfusion with fat the plasma concentrations of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and cholecystokinin (CCK) increased from 6.9 +/- 0.5 to 15.1 +/- 1.5 pmol/l (P < 0.05) and from 1.2 +/- 0.4 to 3.8 +/- 0.9 pmol/l (P < 0.05). This study reveals a negative effect of fat in the duodenum on gastric lipase secretion. This effect may be mediated by GLP-1 and/or CCK.
