Amylase activity in human bile.

چکیده
The mean amylase level in 42 human bile samples was 154 IU/l and there was no significant difference in the amylase activity of 32 paired serum and bile samples. Estimation of the amylase thermolability of bile showed it to be similar to that of serum. This suggests that the amylase activity in bile may have filtered through the liver from the hepatic circulation rather than refluxed from the pancreatic duct. The presence of amylase in human bile provides further evidence that the liver might have a role in the regulation of serum amylase.

Human Gastrointestinal Juices Intended for Use in In Vitro Digestion Models
The aim of this study was to characterise the individual human gastric and duodenal juices to be used in in vitro model digestion and to examine the storage stability of the enzymes. Gastroduodenal juices were aspirated, and individual variations in enzymatic activities as well as total volumes, pH, bile acids, protein and bilirubin concentrations were recorded. Individual pepsin activity in th...
متن کاملPancreatic outflow obstruction as the critical event for human gall stone induced pancreatitis.
Opie suggested in 1901 that a common channel between the pancreatic duct and the common bile duct is created when a gall stone becomes impacted at the duodenal papilla. He proposed that bile would regurgitate into the pancreas and trigger pancreatitis. The case is reported of a 22 year old woman with an impacted stone at the duodenal papilla creating a common channel. The patient suffered from ...
متن کاملCan Regurgitation of Pancreatic Juice into the Biliary Tract be Detected by H MR Spectroscopy?
INTRODUCTION: Regurgitation of pancreatic juice into the biliary tract and the subsequent mixing of pancreatic juice with bile is frequently observed in patients with pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM), which is a potential risk factor for the carcinogenesis of bile duct and gallbladder [1]. The mixing of pancreatic juice with bile is generally detected by measuring the amylase activity in bi...
متن کاملComparison of Cytotoxic Activity of Bile on HepG2 and CCRF-CEM Cell Lines: An in Vitro Study
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of crude bile on the human HepG2 and CCRF-CEM cell lines. Cells were exposed to different dilutions of bile. Antiproliferative effects were determined by the cytotoxic MTT assay. Cells undergoing apoptosis were identified by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay. Bile administration resulted in dose-dependent c...

AIM To determine whether pancreatic enzymes are present in hepatic bile and in intrahepatic bile duct epithelium. METHODS The activity and proteins of pancreatic enzymes (pancreatic alpha-amylase, lipase, trypsin/trypsinogen) in hepatic bile were investigated using biochemical and western blot analyses in 25 patients with extrahepatic bile duct obstruction. Immunolocalization of enzyme protei...
