Effect of short-term peroral administration of synthetic trypsin inhibitor on endocrine secretion in the isolated perfused rat pancreas.
The effects of peroral treatment with synthetic trypsin inhibitor on endocrine secretion in response to four different stimuli were investigated in the isolated perfused rat pancreas. After 10 days' treatment pancreatic wet weights and protein and amylase contents in the pancreas were significantly increased. On the other hand, total contents of IRI and IRG in the T.I.-treated and control pancreas were nearly the same. In spite of the lack of alteration in hormone contents, a lower initial phase of IRI response to 8.3 mM glucose, glucose plus 0.1 ng/ml caerulein or 20 mM arginine was observed in the T.I.-treated pancreas. Furthermore, the IRI response to 10 mM theophylline was both slower and the most reduced in the T.I.-treated pancreas. From these observations, it is suggested that short-term peroral administration of synthetic trypsin inhibitor not only has no trophic effect on pancreatic B-cell and A-cell in the rat but also may affect some pathway of insulin secretion from the B-cell to reduce IRI responses to secretagogues.
