Effects of secretin and cholecystokinin-pancreocymin on water, electrolyte and glucose absorption in human jejunum. A comparison between different hormone preparations.
The effects of natural secretin (90%) and synthetic secretin as well as impure (10%) and pure (99%) cholecystokinin-pancreozymin (CCK) on net absorption of water, electrolytes, and glucose in human jejunum were studied in 31 normal subjects. An intestinal perfusion technique with a triple-lumen tube was used. Net absorption of water and solute was significantly inhibited by both hormones only with larger doses, pure CCK being less active than impure CCK. A dose-dependent response of water and electrolyte absorption to graded doses of pure CCK was observed, without concomitant inhibition of glucose absorption with lower doses. The findings suggest that secretin and CCK may not be of physiologic importance regarding intestinal absorption in man. The definite changes in intestinal motility and transit rate caused by these hormones seem more likely to result in a reduction of intestinal absorption and an increase in the secretion of water and electrolytes along the proximal small bowel.
