Role of cholecystokinin in intestinal phase and meal-induced pancreatic secretion.
Amylase secretion and plasma cholecystokinin (CCK) were measured in dogs in the interdigestive state and after exogenous CCK-8 and CCK-39 (12.5 to 400 pmol.kg-1.h-1), intestinal sodium oleate, tryptophan plus phenylalanine, HCl (0.74, 2.2, 6.7, 20 mmol/h), and a meat meal (20 g/kg). Interdigestive plasma CCK did not vary, although amylase output showed periodic 15-fold increases. Plasma CCK increased linearly after doubling doses of CCK-8 and CCK-39; the slope of plasma CCK-39 vs. dose was 2.8 times steeper than that of CCK-8, suggesting a longer circulating half-life. At similar plasma concentrations, CCK-8 and CCK-39 were equipotent for stimulating pancreatic secretion. Sodium oleate and tryptophan plus phenylalanine significantly increased plasma CCK and amylase secretion in a load-dependent pattern and were equipotent for both effects. HCl stimulated bicarbonate secretion but not plasma CCK or amylase secretion. Food significantly increased plasma CCK and amylase secretion. Amylase responses to intestinal stimulants and food were significantly greater than to exogenous CCK at low plasma CCK levels. Maximal amylase responses to intestinal stimulants were similar to that after CCK-39 but occurred at 10-fold lower plasma CCK levels. These results indicate that CCK and other factors interact to regulate pancreatic responses to food and intestinal stimulants in dogs.
