RESUMO
Pancreatic trypsin output and plasma secretin and cholecystokinin (CCK) levels were measured in five healthy volunteers to investigate the mechanisms involved in regulating postprandial pancreatic secretion. The pancreas was stimulated by a liquid test meal or by either intravenous secretin (1-82 pmol/kg-1 per h-1) or caerulein, a CCK analogue (2.3-37 pmol/kg-1 per h-1), or by a combination of secretin and caerulein. Pancreatic secretion was assessed by a marker perfusion technique (polyethylene glycol [PEG 4000]), plasma secretin, and CCK by specific radioimmunoassays. Increasing doses of secretin produced increasing bicarbonate output (P less than 0.01), whereas trypsin was not stimulated over basal. Graded caerulein produced a stepwise increase in trypsin and bicarbonate output (P less than 0.01). Potentiation occurred for bicarbonate secretion between secretin and caerulein, but not for trypsin output. Postprandial trypsin secretion averaged 29.1 IU/min-1 over 150 min (equal to 55% of maximal response to caerulein). The peak trypsin response amounted to 90% of maximal caerulein. Significant increases of plasma secretion (P less than 0.05) and CCK (P less than 0.01) were observed after the meal. Comparison of enzyme and CCK responses to the testmeal or to exogenous caerulein suggested that the amount of CCK released after the meal could account for the postprandial trypsin secretion. We conclude that (a) the postprandial enzyme response in man is submaximal in comparison to maximal exogenous hormone stimulation; (b) CCK is a major stimulatory mechanism of postprandial trypsin secretion, whereas secretin is not involved; and (c) Potentiation of enzyme secretion is not a regulatory mechanism of the postprandial secretory response.
