title: The action of somatostatin on intestinal alkaline phosphatase stimulated by secretin and cholecystokinin-pancreozymin.
abstract: The action of somatostatin on intestinal alkaline phosphatase activity (IAP) in the duodenal juice was examined in 22 subjects undergoing diagnostic secretin-CCK-PZ-tests. Under continuous secretin-CCK-PZ-stimulation there is an increase of IAP which is followed by a period of exhaustion after 1 h of stimulation. The intravenous administration of somatostatin induces a distinct inhibition of IAP which cannot be due to the exhaustion of the enzyme synthesis. As there is a functional relationship between fat absorption and alkaline phosphatase, it is suggested that this inhibition of IAP is one of the mechanisms of the somatostatin-induced inhibition of intestinal fat absorption.
