Intestinal fat suppresses protein-induced exocrine pancreatic secretion in chronically bile-pancreatic juice-diverted rats.
Previously, we showed that the increase in pancreatic enzyme secretion was lower after feeding a casein diet containing fat than that after feeding a fat-free casein diet in chronically bile-pancreatic juice (BPJ)-diverted rats. In the present study, we determined whether the suppressive effects of fats on flow volume of BPJ and pancreatic enzyme secretion depend on delaying gastric emptying and examined the characteristics of the suppression with intraduodenal instillation of soybean oil or lecithin in BPJ-diverted rats. The study was conducted as three separate experiments using conscious rats with chronic BPJ diversion by means of a common bile-pancreatic duct catheter. The flow volume of BPJ and the secretion of pancreatic amylase and trypsin were determined after intraduodenal instillation of the test solution. Exocrine pancreatic secretion was strongly stimulated by administration of guanidinated casein hydrolysate (HGC, 150 mg/ml) in chronic BPJ-diverted rats. However, pancreatic secretion after administration of an emulsion containing HGC with either soybean oil (100 mg/ml) or mixed fat (50 mg/ml soybean oil + 50 mg/ml lecithin) was much lower than that after administration of HGC alone. In contrast, administration of the soybean oil emulsion without HGC resulted in a small, but significant increase in the volume of BPJ. The suppressive effects of soybean oil (100 mg/ml) on the increases in the BPJ flow and enzyme secretion were similar to those of sodium taurocholate (10 mg/ml), and there was no additive effect of soybean oil on taurocholate suppression. In conclusion, duodenally instilled soybean oil suppressed increases in flow volume of BPJ and pancreatic enzyme secretion induced by HGC in chronic BPJ-diverted rats, showing that the suppressive effect of the fat does not depend on delaying gastric emptying.
