Abstract
The trace amines are a structurally related group of amines and their isomers synthesized in mammalian brain and peripheral nervous tissues. They are closely associated metabolically with the dopamine, noradrenaline and serotonin neurotransmitter systems in mammalian brain. Like dopamine, noradrenaline and serotonin the trace amines have been implicated in a vast array of human disorders of affect and cognition. The trace amines are unique as they are present in trace concentrations, exhibit high rates of metabolism and are distributed heterogeneously in mammalian brain. While some are synthesized in their parent amine neurotransmitter systems, there is also evidence to suggest other trace amines may comprise their own independent neurotransmitter systems. A substantial body of evidence suggests that the trace amines may play very significant roles in the coordination of biogenic amine-based synaptic physiology. At high concentrations, they have well-characterized presynaptic "amphetamine-like" effects on catecholamine and indolamine release, reuptake and biosynthesis; at lower concentrations, they possess postsynaptic modulatory effects that potentiate the activity of other neurotransmitters, particularly dopamine and serotonin. The trace amines also possess electrophysiological effects that are in opposition to these neurotransmitters, indicating to some researchers the existence of receptors specific for the trace amines. While binding sites or receptors for a few of the trace amines have been advanced, the absence of cloned receptor protein has impeded significant development of their detailed mechanistic roles in the coordination of catecholamine and indolamine synaptic physiology. The recent discovery and characterization of a family of mammalian G protein-coupled receptors responsive to trace amines such as beta-phenylethylamine, tyramine, and octopamine, including socially ingested psychotropic drugs such as amphetamine, 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, N,N-dimethyltryptamine, and lysergic acid diethylamide, have revitalized the field of scientific studies investigating trace amine synaptic physiology, and its association with major human disorders of affect and cognition.

Abstract
Cholecystokinin-octapeptide (CCK-OP) induces a time- and dose-dependent decrease of gap junctional conductance in isolated pairs of pancreatic acinar cells. In double whole-cell experiments, the time course could be described by the latency and the half-life time (t1/2) of cell-to-cell uncoupling. The latency shows a biphasic dependence on [CCK-OP] with a minimum of about 50 sec at 10(-9) M CCK-OP. In the presence of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), the biphasic relationship is shifted to lower CCK-OP concentrations. The increase of latency at high concentrations of CCK-OP (> 10(-9) M) was blocked by addition of a VIP-antagonist. t1/2 decreases monophasically with increasing [CCK-OP]. Addition of GTP gamma S to the pipette solution suppresses the [CCK-OP] dependence of the latency and potentiates the uncoupling phase. The kinetic data are discussed in terms of CCK binding to receptors of high and low affinity. Evidence is presented that secretion and cell-to-cell coupling are not related by an all-or-none process, but that for physiological CCK-OP concentrations, gap junctional uncoupling follows secretion.

Abstract
Supramaximal doses of cholecystokinin (CCK) induce in vitro submaximal biological responses (i.e., smaller by 50% than the response to a maximal dose of CCK), desensitization and residual stimulation, and in vivo secretory inhibition and edematous pancreatitis. It has been reported previously that supramaximal doses of Boc-[Nle28-Nle31]CCK(27-32)/- phenylethylester (JMV 180) do not produce these effects. The aim of this study was to analyze the in vivo response of pancreatic secretion of the rat to a wide dose range of Boc-[Nle28-Nle31]CCK(26-33) (JMV118), an analog of CCK8 with the same activity spectrum as CCK8, to JMV180 and to Boc-[Nle28-Nle31]CCK(27-32)-phenylethylamide (JMV170). The three peptides were administered as intravenous infusions and as bolus intravenous injections. In the case of infusions, the same maximal effect was observed with all three peptides. It was obtained with 22.5 pmol/kg.min of JMV118; JMV180 and JMV170 were about 700 times less potent. In the case of bolus injections, the maximal response to JMV118 was observed with 450 pmol/kg, and the response peaked 10-15 min after the injection. Higher doses of JMV118 induced a secretory peak that was smaller and delayed relative to the moment of injection. JMV180 and JMV170 were about 500 times less potent: the maximal response was observed with 218700 pmol/kg and peaked 10-15 min after the injection. Larger doses of JMV180 and JMV170 produced neither supramaximal inhibition nor a delayed peak response, but induced a sustained stimulation of pancreatic secretion that could last more than 3 h after the injection.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Swiss mice were fed conventional lab chow and 10% ethanol or water as drinking fluid for 2 weeks. Pancreatic juice was obtained by cannulation of the bile pancreatic common duct of mice anesthetized with urethane. Isolated pancreatic lobules were also obtained. The flow rate and the amylase output were determined in pure pancreatic juice. The release of amylase was measured in pancreatic lobule preparations. The basal pancreatic juice flow rate and the amylase output were significantly increased by ethanol consumption. The magnitude of the pancreatic juice flow rate and the amylase output responses to increasing doses of bethanechol, a cholinergic agent, was significantly decreased in ethanol-fed mice. The amount of spontaneously released amylase was higher in pancreatic lobule preparations from ethanol-fed animals than that from control mice, and the difference was abolished by addition of atropine to the incubation media. The amylase release rate in response to increasing doses of bethanechol was significantly reduced in lobule preparations from the ethanol-fed group. These data indicate that ethanol intake in mice has a stimulating effect on the spontaneous pancreatic secretion and lends support to the hypothesis that ethanol consumption increases the intrapancreatic cholinergic tone.

Abstract
Supramaximal doses of cholecystokinin induce in vitro submaximal biological responses, desensitization and residual stimulation. In vivo, supramaximal inhibition and oedematous pancreatitis have been reported. The aim of this study was to analyze the in vivo response of the pancreatic secretion of the rat to a wide range of doses of CCK8 and analogs prepared by alterations of the Met(28)-Gly(29) bond, a modification that may lead to potent agonists. We used Boc-[Nle28-Nle31]-CCK(26-33) (1) and derivatives of (1) with the 28-29 peptide bond replaced by CH2-NH (2), CO-CH2 (3), CH2-CH2 (4), NH-CO (5). On infusions, the ED50's (pmol/kg.min) for protein output were 4 for CCK8 and (1), 11 for (3), 40 for (2) and (4), and 860 for (5). The relative order of the in vivo potencies was near to the one determined in vitro on isolated rat acini. On bolus injections, the maximal response was observed with 300 pmol/kg of CCK8, and peaked 10-15 min after the injection. With higher doses of CCK8, the secretory peak was smaller, and was delayed relative to the moment of the injection. Supramaximal doses of CCK analogs induced the same pattern of response; however, the peak injection delay was in some cases smaller than after CCK8. Determination of the plasma CCK levels indicated that the time of peak effect after supramaximal doses of CCK8 was delayed relative to the time of effective maximal plasma CCK levels. This suggests a slow dissociation of CCK8 from one of its pancreatic binding sites in vivo.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The influence of endogenous prostaglandins on secretin-mediated inhibition of gastric acid secretion was examined in 6 mongrel dogs with Thomas gastric and Herrera pancreatic cannulas. The dogs were given intravenous pentagastrin (1 microgram/kg.h) during the 180-min experiment, and graded doses of secretin (0.3-1.5 micrograms/kg.h) (1-5 CU/kg.h) were infused intravenously between 60 and 120 min. In alternate, otherwise identical experiments, a prostaglandin synthesis inhibitor, either indomethacin or meclofenamate, was also administered throughout the experiment. Increasing doses of secretin led to increasing inhibition of gastric acid output with the maximum inhibition at 1 microgram/kg.h (3.3 CU/kg.h) of secretin. Both indomethacin and meclofenamate abolished the inhibitory effects of secretin on gastric acid secretion. The inhibitors of prostaglandin generation had no effect on the serotonin system. We concluded that secretin mediates its inhibitory action on gastric acid secretion, at least in part, through endogenous prostaglandins.

Abstract
In the salivary reflex, not only secretory cells are activated, but also myo-epithelial cells are contracted to support these cells and promote the flow of saliva, and blood vessels dilate to meet the increased demands of the tissues. The various effector cells often receive nerves from both parts of the autonomic system, and interactions may occur when the nerves act on the same type of effector, or on different types of effectors. While in an experiment electrical stimulation of the sympathetic trunk may decrease a parasympathetic salivary flow by causing marked vasoconstriction, this does not occur in the salivary reflex, since the vasoconstrictors do not take part. On the contrary, the normal sympathetic vasoconstrictor tone of the resting gland is easily overcome by activity in parasympathetic vasodilator nerves when secretion starts. Pronounced synergism can be demonstrated between sympathetic and parasympathetic secretory nerves. In dogs, for instance, in which sympathetic secretion is beta-adrenoceptor-mediated, this is marked in the case of fluid secretion. In rats and rabbits, in which beta-receptors elicit secretion of amylase, the potentiating interaction among the nerves is striking when amylase secretion is considered. Even the random release of acetylcholine from the post-ganglionic parasympathetic axons, by itself insufficient to evoke secretion, can increase the sympathetic effects. Motor nerves interact with secretory nerves by causing myo-epithelial contraction, mechanically promoting secretion. Interactions between the nerves in their long-term regulatory function on the sensitivity of the acinar secretory and myo-epithelial cells can also be demonstrated.

Abstract
The effect of varying the intensity of pancreatic stimulation on the synthesis of human pancreatic enzymes has not previously been studied. We have measured the secretion and synthesis of pancreatic enzymes in response to either secretin alone (1 CU.kg-1.h-1) or secretion plus increasing doses of cholecystokinin (CCK) (0.25, 0.5 or 1.0 IDU.kg-1.h-1). Enzyme synthesis was measured using the incorporation of 75Se-methionine (0.15 mCi (5.6 kBq).kg-1.h-1) into the trichloracetic acid-insoluble fraction of the duodenal aspirate. Outputs of trypsin, chymotrypsin, lipase and protein showed a bell-shaped dose response to increasing doses of cholecystokinin, with maximal outputs occurring in response to secretin plus cholecystokinin 0.5 IDU.kg-1.h-1. The rate of incorporation of 75Se-methionine increased with increasing doses of cholecystokinin and was maximal in response to secretion plus cholecystokinin 1.0 IDU.kg-1.h-1. There was therefore dissociation between the secretory and synthetic responses to increasing doses of cholecystokinin.

Abstract
The amylase secretion in vivo was examined in the rat parotid gland. A comparison was made between individual stimulation of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves and simultaneous activation of both nerves. When sympathetic stimulation was superimposed on a parasympathetic background activity, amylase secretion was elicited at a frequency far below the threshold for secretion of fluid, and increased in a frequency-dependent way. This augmented amylase secretion, seen when the two nerves were activated at the same time, gave an amylase output which far exceeded the sum obtained at individual nerve stimulation. The sympathetic amylase secretion obtained in a background of parasympathetic activity seemed to be dependent entirely on beta 1-adrenoceptors. When high sympathetic stimulation frequency (3-10 Hz) was used a reduction in salivary flow was seen, which was accompanied by a reduced amylase output. This effect was counteracted by alpha-adrenoceptor blockade. Isoprenaline, injected intravenously during an ongoing parasympathetic activity, was found to evoke an augmented amylase secretion in a similar way as sympathetic nerve stimulation.

Abstract
Enzyme digestion of rat pancreatic tissue yielded a preparation of isolated acinar cells, over 90% of which excluded trypan blue. These isolated cells responded to a variety of secretagogues, the responses being sensitive to the removal of extracellular calcium, increasing extracellular magnesium, and by trifluoperazine, an antagonist of Ca-dependent processes. When exposed to intense electric fields, isolated acinar cells became permeable to CaEGTA and MgATP, these markers gaining access to over 60% of the intracellular milieu within minutes. The accessibility to these markers seemed independent of the ionised Ca2+ level. Less than 0.5% of the cellular amylase was released when cells were rendered leaky in a medium containing about 10(-9) M Ca2+, but typically 4% was released when the Ca2+ level was subsequently raised to 10(-5)M levels, the EC50 for Ca2+ being 2 microM. This amount of amylase released was comparable to the amounts secreted from intact cells in response to a variety of agonists. The cytosolic marker lactate dehydrogenase was also released from leaky cells, but the extent was independent of Ca2+ concentration. No amylase was released at 10(-7)M Ca2+ when permeable cells were exposed to cyclic 3',5'-AMP or cyclic 3',5'-GMP. The calcium activation curve for amylase release seemed to be independent of cyclic nucleotides, but was markedly increased in both the extent of release and apparent affinity for Ca2+ in the presence of the phorbol ester 12-0-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13 acetate. These results suggest that when "functionally normal" isolated acinar cells are rendered permeable, Ca2+-but not cyclic nucleotides-acts as a second messenger for amylase secretion, and furthermore that protein kinase C may be involved in the secretory process.

Abstract
The classical monoamine neurotransmitters, acetylcholine and the catecholamines, are used by only a small proportion of synapses in mammalian c.n.s. The amino acids GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) and L-glutamate may be the principal inhibitory and excitatory neurotransmitters used for fast point-to-point transmission in the c.n.s. The monoamines and the large number of neuropeptides (over 30) now known to exist in c.n.s. may be chemical signals used for a different type of chemically addressed form of information transmission between neurons in c.n.s. characterized by less precise spatial connections, a slower time course and a far richer diversity of chemical signals than used in classical synaptic neurotransmission. In this context the brain can be viewed as a neuroendocrine secretory organ of great complexity.

Abstract
Male rats were treated for 10 days with the organophosphorus insecticide, acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, O,O-diethyl S-[2-(ethylthio)ethyl] phosphorodithioate (disulfoton, 2 mg/kg/day by gavage). At the end of the treatment, binding of [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate ( [3H]QNB) to cholinergic muscarinic receptors and cholinesterase (ChE) activity were assayed in the pancreas. Functional activity of pancreatic muscarinic receptor was investigated by determining carbachol-stimulated secretion of alpha-amylase in vitro. ChE activity and [3H]QNB binding were significantly decreased in the pancreas from disulfoton-treated rats. The alteration of [3H]QNB binding was due to a decrease in muscarinic receptor density with no change in the affinity. Basal secretion of amylase from pancreas in vitro was not altered, but carbachol-stimulated secretion was decreased. The effect appeared to be specific since pancreozymin was able to induce the same amylase release from pancreases of control and treated rats. The results suggest that repeated exposures to sublethal doses of an organophosphorus insecticide lead to a biochemical and functional alteration of cholinergic muscarinic receptors in the pancreas.

Abstract
The study examines the ultrastructural changes in the rat pancreas stimulated in vivo to secrete zymogen and fluid by the hormones cholecystokinin and secretin, administered either separately or in combination. The octapeptide of cholecystokinin (CCK-OP) (2.5 X 10(-7) g/kg) 5 min after injection produced discharge of electron-dense zymogen into the acinar lumen and intercellular canaliculi (ICC), leaving misshapen, collapsed zymogen granule profiles around the lumen. Five minutes after secretin (7.5 clinical units/kg), acinar cells were distended, rough endoplasmic reticulum was dilated, acinar lumina and ICC were expanded and filled by electron-lucent and flocculent contents, and there were "halo" zymogen granules and pale "vacuoles." Electron-lucent zones surrounding acinar and duct cell microvilli indicated transcellular fluid secretion. When secretin was administered with CCK-OP, the picture was a composite between zymogen and fluid secretory patterns. Zymogen granules took up fluid producing a halo appearance, pale vacuoles formed in acinar cells, and acinar lumina and discharging zymogen granules were of intermediate electron density. The results demonstrated that, although fluid is secreted by duct cells in response to secretin, a major site of secretin-stimulated fluid secretion is acinar cells. Fluid is transported across both cell types by transcellular routes, and the acinar cell fluid secretion is integrated with zymogen discharge. CCK-OP produces partial discharge of undiluted zymogen by exocytosis.
