title: Modulatory effect of glucose, amino acids, and secretin on CCK-8-induced somatostatin and pancreatic polypeptide release in dogs.
abstract: Protein- and fat-rich test meals elicit a strong stimulatory effect on postprandial somatostatin (SLI) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP) release, whereas carbohydrate-rich meals rather attenuate the response of both hormones. Since there is evidence that intestinal hormones might contribute to the postprandial SLI and PP response, it was the aim of the present study to determine in dogs the effect of low-dose cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) on basal hormone levels and also during a background infusion of amino acids or glucose. In a group of six conscious dogs, sulfated CCK-8 was infused intravenously (i.v.) via a hindleg vein at stepwise increasing infusion rates of 10, 30, and 50 pmol X kg-1 X h. The infusion of CCK was applied during a background infusion of saline (2 ml/min), glucose (0.2 g/min), or an amino acid mixture (8.5%, 2 ml/min). CCK-8 had no effect on plasma insulin and glucagon levels under all experimental conditions. Plasma SLI levels were significantly stimulated by all doses of CCK. This stimulatory effect was similar during background infusions of either saline, glucose, or amino acids, respectively. Pancreatic polypeptide (PP) levels rose 200-300 pg/ml during CCK plus saline. This was slightly attenuated by glucose. During CCK plus amino acids, the PP response was augmented to 600-800 pg/ml. Since secretin is also released after the ingestion of a meal and intraduodenal acidification is a potent stimulus not only of secretin but also of gastric and pancreatic SLI release, the effect of secretin was examined additionally.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
