title: Effect of bile salts on the plasma concentration of immunoreactive vasoactive intestinal polypeptide in man.
abstract: The effects of bile salts on the release of immunoreactive vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (IR-VIP) were investigated in men using a specific radioimmunoassay. Plasma IR-VIP was determined after extraction by the acid-acetone method (recovery 75 +/- 5%). Oral administration of 400 mg sodium taurocholate caused a rise in plasma IR-VIP from 18.5 +/- 1.3 pmol/l to 31.1 +/- 2.1 pmol/l after 30 min and 39.0 +/- 1.7 pmol/l after 60 min and return to the initial value after 120 min. Oral administration of chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) also increased plasma IR-VIP from a basal level of 14.5 +/- 1.5 pmol/l to 36.3 +/- 1.2 pmol/l after 60 min. Oral administration of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) increased plasma IR-VIP from 11.9 +/- 1.1 pmol/l to 25.6 +/- 1.8 pmol/l after 30 min. Perifusion of 1 mM taurocholate stimulated release of IR-VIP from human duodenal mucosa into the perifusate. These results suggest that bile salts may participate, at least in part, in the release of IR-VIP from the gut.
