Effect of pancreatic proteases on plasma cholecystokinin, secretin, and pancreatic exocrine secretion in response to sodium oleate.
The effect of pancreatic proteases or juice on the sodium oleate-stimulated pancreatic secretion and plasma concentrations of secretin and cholecystokinin in anesthetized rats was investigated. Each rat received sodium oleate in a dose of 0.12 mmol.h-1 via a duodenal tube. Sodium oleate infusion significantly increased pancreatic secretion (volume and protein output) compared with the saline given the control group. The increase in pancreatic secretion paralleled significant elevations of plasma concentrations of secretin and cholecystokinin. To determine a possible role of pancreatic proteases on the responses induced by sodium oleate, saline, chymotrypsin, and trypsin, a combination of chymotrypsin and trypsin or pancreatic juice was infused into the duodenum. The pancreatic secretion was significantly reduced by pancreatic proteases or pancreatic juice, and the reduction paralleled the decreases in plasma concentrations of the two hormones. These agents suppressed both pancreatic secretion and plasma hormone levels in the following order of magnitude: (pancreatic juice or chymotrypsin + trypsin) greater than (trypsin) greater than (chymotrypsin). The reduction of pancreatic secretion by pancreatic proteases was reversed by intravenous administration of secretin and cholecystokinin in physiological doses. It is concluded that negative-feedback regulation of pancreatic secretion is operative in the intestinal phase in rats and that both secretin and cholecystokinin are involved in the regulation.
