RESUMO
The effects of intraduodenal glycerol, fatty acid (FA) chain length and FA loads, and bile acid (BA) concentrations on pancreatic and gallbladder function were investigated in 31 healthy volunteers by a perfusion method. FA absorption rates in the duodenum and proximal jejunum were measured simultaneously. Pancreatic and gallbladder responses were augmented by increasing FA chain length and FA loads until the "maximal" secretory capacity of the pancreas and gallbladder emptying was attained. Glycerol had no effect. Raising BA concentrations above the critical micellar concentration accelerated FA absorption rates but decreased the magnitude of pancreatic and gallbladder responses to FA. Higher BA concentrations exerted an opposite effect, slowing FA absorption and increasing pancreatic and gallbladder responses. Indeed, a significant, inverse correlation was found between FA absorption and pancreatic and gallbladder responses to FA, suggesting a relationship between the length of intestine exposed to FA and the amount of cholecystokinin (and/or other neurohormonal factors) released, which stimulates pancreatic secretion and gallbladder contraction.
