title: Absence of luminal bile increases duodenal content of cholecystokinin in rats.
abstract: The effects of the removal of bile from the proximal intestine on pancreas, plasma cholecystokinin (CCK) concentration, and duodenal content of CCK were examined in rats. Bile was excluded from the duodenum and introduced into the distal ileum through a silastic cannula for 7 days. Pancreatic juice was maintained to be normally secreted into the duodenum. After 7-day bile diversion, plasma CCK concentration and duodenal CCK content were significantly increased in bile-diverted rats. Trypsin content in the proximal intestine in bile-diverted rats was one-half that in control. Pancreatic wet weight, protein content, and DNA content in the pancreas were slightly increased, and lipase content was slightly decreased, by bile diversion, but none of these changes was statistically significant. Amylase content significantly decreased and chymotrypsin content significantly increased in bile-diverted rats. Intragastric administration of camostate (trypsin inhibitor) significantly increased plasma CCK concentration in both bile-diverted and control rats, and the net increase was much greater in bile-diverted rats than in control rats. In conclusion, bile diversion increased duodenal CCK content and increased the CCK response to luminal stimulant.
