چکیده

The pancreatic exocrine secretory response to different combinations of the pancreozymin-like peptide caerulein and secretin was studied in 110 healthy control subjects and 32 patients with pancreatic disease. A combination of 0 5 CU/kg-h secretin and 75 ng/kg-h caerulein provided maximal or near-maximal stimulation of the secretion of both bicarbonate and pancreatic enzymes. The combination of stimulant peptides in the above doses was found to give excellent separation between the secretion of bicarbonate, lipase, and chymotrypsin of the control group and patients with chronic pancreatitis. A combination of caerulein and secretin represents a safe, reliable, and effective mean of stimulating pancreatic exocrine secretion for the purpose of testing pancreatic function.

Use of caerulein with submaximal doses of secretin as a test of pancreatic function in man.

The pancreatic exocrine secretory response to different combinations of the pancreozymin-like peptide caerulein and secretin was studied in 110 healthy control subjects and 32 patients with pancreatic disease. A combination of 0-5 CU/kg-h secretin and 75 ng/kg-h caerulein provided maximal or near-maximal stimulation of the secretion of both bicarbonate and pancreatic enzymes. The combination of...

Pancreatic enzyme response to a liquid meal and to hormonal stimulation. Correlation with plasma secretin and cholecystokinin levels.

Pancreatic trypsin output and plasma secretin and cholecystokinin (CCK) levels were measured in five healthy volunteers to investigate the mechanisms involved in regulating postprandial pancreatic secretion. The pancreas was stimulated by a liquid test meal or by either intravenous secretin (1-82 pmol/kg-1 per h-1) or caerulein, a CCK analogue (2.3-37 pmol/kg-1 per h-1), or by a combination of ...

Haemodynamic and exocrine effects of caerulein at submaximal and supramaximal levels on the rat pancreas: role of cholecystokinin receptor subtypes.

BACKGROUND We have investigated the involvement of cholecystokinin (CCK) receptor subtypes in haemodynamic changes in the pancreas of anaesthetized rats during submaximal and supramaximal stimulation with the CCK analogue, caerulein. METHODS For submaximal stimulation, caerulein (0.4 nmol/kg/h) was infused intravenously, while acute pancreatitis was induced by intraperitoneal injections of hi...

The action of the C-terminal octapeptide of cholecystokinin and related peptides on pancreatic exocrine secretion.

The effect of the C-terminal octapeptide of cholecystokinin-pancreozymin (CCK-PZ), caerulein, and the C-terminal tetrapeptide of gastrin on pancreatic secretion of fluid, electrolyte, amylase, and protein was studied in anaesthetized dogs prepared with pancreatic fistulae. Against background stimulation of fluid secretion with submaximal doses of secretin, all the polypeptides produced a qualit...

Role of endogenous nitric oxide in the control of exocrine and endocrine pancreatic secretion in humans.

BACKGROUND Nitric oxide (NO) is an unstable vasodilator formed by NO synthetase (NOS) from L-arginine (L-Arg) in various cells but its role in the control of pancreatic secretion in humans has not been examined. AIMS This study was designed to determine the role of endogenous NO in the control of exocrine and endocrine pancreas using NOS inhibitor, NG-monomethyl-L-Arg (L-NMMA). METHODS Panc...
