title: High plasma cholecystokinin response following ingestion of test meal by patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.
abstract: Postprandial responses of plasma cholecystokinin (CCK) in patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) were studied with a CCK specific radioimmunoassay. After the ingestion of a liquid test meal, plasma CCK levels increased from the basal level of 9.8 +/- 1.1 pg/ml to a peak of 19.4 +/- 1.8 pg/ml at 20 min in healthy subjects (n = 10). The ingestion of a test meal in patients with NIDDM (n = 10) resulted in a significantly greater increase of plasma CCK than in healthy subjects and a significant increase of plasma CCK from a basal level of 14.2 +/- 4.4 pg/ml to a peak of 47.4 +/- 12.4 pg/ml at 10 min.
