title: Effect of the specific cholecystokinin-receptor antagonist loxiglumide on bombesin stimulated pancreatic enzyme secretion in man.
abstract: We have investigated the effects of the specific cholecystokinin (CCK) receptor antagonist loxiglumide on basal and bombesin stimulated pancreatic enzyme secretion, bilirubin output and plasma CCK release in six healthy subjects. The data were compared with those obtained in control experiments where saline was infused instead of loxiglumide. Basal amylase output (4.7 +/- 0.8 kU/45 min), trypsin output (2.9 +/- 0.8 kU/45 min) and bilirubin output (7.7 +/- 2.8 mmol/45 min) gradually declined during infusion of loxiglumide to values of 1.3 +/- 0.3 kU/45 min, 0.5 +/- 0.1 kU/45 min and 0.4 +/- 0.0 mmol/45 min, respectively, reaching statistical significance (P less than 0.05) in the 30 to 45-min period after the start of the loxiglumide infusion. In the control experiments saline infusion failed to influence basal amylase, trypsin and bilirubin output, while bombesin stimulated amylase output from 4.7 +/- 0.8 kU/45 min to 25.1 +/- 5.1 kU/45 min (P less than 0.05), trypsin output from 2.9 +/- 0.8 kU/45 min to 11.6 +/- 2.0 kU/45 min (P less than 0.05) and bilirubin output from 7.7 +/- 2.8 mmol/45 min to 68.0 +/- 16.0 mmol/45 min (P less than 0.05). Loxiglumide failed to significantly influence bombesin stimulated amylase output (36.7 +/- 9.0 kU/45 min) and trypsin output (8.3 +/- 2.9 kU/45 min), but almost abolished bilirubin output (9.7 +/- 3.6 mmol/45 min) (P less than 0.05). Basal plasma CCK (2.4 +/- 0.1 pM) was not significantly influenced by loxiglumide (2.4 +/- 0.2 pM).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
