Abstract
The clinical utility of gemcitabine, an antimetabolite antineoplastic agent applied in various chemotherapy treatments, is limited due to the required intravenous injection. Although chemical structure modifications of gemcitabine result in enhanced oral bioavailability, these modifications compromise complex synthetic routes and cause unexpected side effects. In this study, gemcitabine-loaded glycocholic acid-modified micelles (Gem-PPG) were prepared for enhanced oral chemotherapy. The in vitro transport pathway experiments revealed that intact Gem-PPG were transported across the intestinal epithelial monolayer via an apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT)-mediated pathway. In mice, the pharmacokinetic analyses demonstrated that the oral bioavailability of Gem-PPG approached 81%, compared to less than 20% for unmodified micelles. In addition, the antitumor activity of oral Gem-PPG (30 mg/kg, BIW) was superior to that of free drug injection (60 mg/kg, BIW) in the xenograft model. Moreover, the assessments of hematology, blood chemistry, and histology all indicated the hypotoxicity profile of the drug-loaded micelles.

Abstract
CONTEXT Several cases of cholelithiasis and cholecystitis have been reported in patients treated with glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and GLP-2 receptor agonists (GLP-2RAs), respectively. Thus, the effects of GLP-1 and GLP-2 on gallbladder motility have been investigated. We have provided an overview of the mechanisms regulating gallbladder motility and highlight novel findings on the effects of bile acids and glucagon-like peptides on gallbladder motility. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION The articles included in the present review were identified using electronic literature searches. The search results were narrowed to data reporting the effects of bile acids and GLPs on gallbladder motility. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS Bile acids negate the effect of postprandial cholecystokinin-mediated gallbladder contraction. Two bile acid receptors seem to be involved in this feedback mechanism, the transmembrane Takeda G protein-coupled receptor 5 (TGR5) and the nuclear farnesoid X receptor. Furthermore, activation of TGR5 in enteroendocrine L cells leads to release of GLP-1 and, possibly, GLP-2. Recent findings have pointed to the existence of a bile acid-TGR5-L cell-GLP-2 axis that serves to terminate meal-induced gallbladder contraction and thereby initiate gallbladder refilling. GLP-2 might play a dominant role in this axis by directly relaxing the gallbladder. Moreover, recent findings have suggested GLP-1RA treatment prolongs the refilling phase of the gallbladder. CONCLUSIONS GLP-2 receptor activation in rodents acutely increases the volume of the gallbladder, which might explain the risk of gallbladder diseases associated with GLP-2RA treatment observed in humans. GLP-1RA-induced prolongation of human gallbladder refilling may explain the gallbladder events observed in GLP-1RA clinical trials.

Abstract
Ectopic fat and abdominal adiposity phenotypes have never been studied holistically in individuals after acute pancreatitis (AP). The aim of the study was to investigate phenotypical differences in ectopic fat and abdominal fat between individuals after AP (with and without diabetes) and to determine the role of pancreatitis-related factors. Eighty-four individuals were studied cross-sectionally after a median of 21.5 mo since last episode of AP and were categorized into "diabetes" and "no diabetes" groups. Twenty-eight healthy volunteers were also recruited. With the use of magnetic resonance imaging, intrapancreatic fat percentage, liver fat percentage, visceral fat volume (VFV), subcutaneous fat volume, and visceral-to-subcutaneous (V/S) fat volume ratio were quantified. Analysis of variance was used to investigate the differences in these phenotypes between the groups. All analyses were adjusted for age and sex. Linear regression analysis was used to investigate the association between pancreatitis-related factors and the studied phenotypes. Intrapancreatic fat percentage was significantly higher in the diabetes group (10.2 ± 1.2%) compared with the no diabetes (9.2 ± 1.7%) and healthy volunteers (7.9 ± 1.9%) groups (P < 0.001). VFV was significantly higher in the diabetes (2,715.3 ±1,077.6 cm3) compared with no diabetes (1,983.2 ± 1,092.4 cm3) and healthy volunteer (1,126.2 ± 740.4 cm3) groups (P < 0.001). V/S fat volume ratio was significantly higher in the diabetes (0.97 ± 0.27) compared with no diabetes (0.68 ± 0.42) and healthy volunteer (0.52 ± 0.34) groups (P = 0.001). Biliary AP was associated with significantly higher intrapancreatic fat percentage (β = 0.67; 95% CI, 0.01, 1.33; P = 0.047). C-reactive protein levels during hospitalization for AP were associated with significantly higher VFV (β = 3.32; 95% CI, 1.68, 4.96; P < 0.001). In conclusion, individuals with diabetes after AP have higher intrapancreatic fat percentage, VFV, and V/S fat volume ratio. Levels of C-reactive protein during AP are significantly associated with VFV, whereas biliary AP is significantly associated with intrapancreatic fat percentage. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Individuals with diabetes after acute pancreatitis have significantly higher intrapancreatic fat percentage and visceral fat volume compared with individuals without diabetes after acute pancreatitis and healthy controls. C-reactive protein levels during hospitalization for acute pancreatitis and biliary etiology of acute pancreatitis are associated with significantly larger visceral fat and pancreatic fat depots, respectively.

Abstract
Exendin-4 is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist and potent insulinotropic agent for type 2 diabetes patients; however, its therapeutic utility is limited due to the frequent injections required. Long-acting agonists reduce the number of injections, but they can compromise potency. In this study, chondroitin sulfate-g-glycocholic acid-coated and Exendin-4 (Ex-4)-loaded liposomes (EL-CSG) were prepared for oral administration of Ex-4. The Ex-4 loading efficiency was 77% and the loading content in the nanoparticles was 1 wt-%. In rat models, a single oral dose (200 μg/kg) of EL-CSG showed a relative oral bioavailability of 19.5%, compared with subcutaneous administration (20 μg/kg), and sustained pharmacokinetics for up to 72 h. The overall long-term pharmacodynamic effects, assessed by hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), body weight, and blood lipid concentrations, of daily oral EL-CSG (300 μg/kg) for four weeks were equivalent to or better than daily subcutaneous injections of free Ex-4 solution (20 μg/kg).

Abstract
We investigated the effects of changing physiological conditions in the digestive tract expected with food ingestion on the apparent bioaccessibility (Bapp) of 11 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in a fuel soot. A previously established in vitro digestive model was applied that included silicone sheet as a third-phase absorptive sink simulating passive transfer of PAHs to intestinal epithelium in the small intestine stage. The Bapp is defined as the fraction found in the digestive fluid plus sheet after digestion. We determined that Bapp was independent of gastric pH and addition of nonlipid milk representing dietary proteins and carbohydrates, whereas it increased with bile acids concentration (2.0-10 g/L), small intestinal pH (5.00-7.35), and addition of soybean oil representing dietary lipid (100% and 200% of the mean daily ingestion by 2-5 year olds in the U.S.). Bapp of PAHs increases with small intestinal pH due to the combined effects of mass transfer promotion from nonlabile to labile sorbed states in the soot, weaker sorption of the labile state, and increasingly favorable partitioning from the digestive fluid to the silicone sink. Under fed conditions, Bapp increases with inclusion of lipids due to the combined effects of mass transfer promotion from nonlabile to labile states, and increasingly favorable partitioning into bile acid micelles. Our results indicate significant variability in soot PAH bioaccessibility within the range of physiological conditions experienced by humans, and suggest that bioaccessibility will increase with coconsumption of food, especially food with high fat content.

Abstract
The gastrointestinal tract actively responds to the presence of nutrients in the lumen, and there is a high level of specificity to these responses. This specificity exists for different nutrient types and anatomical regions, with physiologically appropriate target end-organ responses. This review will journey from outlining the effects of dietary fat on digestive function and feeding behaviour to the evidence for lipid sensory cells, particularly the enteroendocrine system, in the epithelium. It will also outline potential molecular bases for these mechanisms. This will deal exclusively with issues specific to fatty acid sensing and not the emergent acid pH-sensing mechanisms that may also be activated in the presence of free fatty acids.

Abstract
Enterally administered lipid modulates antropyloroduodenal motility, gut hormone release, appetite, and energy intake. We hypothesized that these effects would be dependent on both the load, and duration, of small intestinal exposure to lipid. Eleven healthy men were studied on four occasions in a double-blind, randomized, fashion. Antropyloroduodenal motility, plasma CCK and peptide YY (PYY) concentrations, and appetite perceptions were measured during intraduodenal infusion of lipid (Intralipid) at 1) 1.33 kcal/min for 50 min, 2) 4 kcal/min for 50 min, and 3) 1.33 kcal/min for 150 min, or 4) saline for 150 min. Immediately after the infusions, energy intake was quantified. Pressure wave sequences (PWSs) were suppressed, and basal pyloric pressure, isolated pyloric pressure waves (IPPWs), plasma CCK and PYY stimulated (all P < 0.05), during the first 50 min of lipid infusion, in a load-dependent fashion. The effect of the 4 kcal/min infusion was sustained so that the suppression of antral pressure waves (PWs) and PWSs and increase in PYY remained evident after cessation of the infusion (all P < 0.05). The prolonged lipid infusion (1.33 kcal/min for 150 min) suppressed antral PWs, stimulated CCK and PYY and basal pyloric pressure (all P < 0.05), and tended to stimulate IPPWs when compared with saline throughout the entire infusion period. There was no significant effect of any of the lipid infusions on appetite or energy intake, although nausea was slightly higher (P < 0.05) with the 4 kcal/min infusion. In conclusion, both the load, and duration, of small intestinal lipid influence antropyloroduodenal motility and patterns of CCK and PYY release.

Abstract
The gastrointestinal effects of intraluminal fats may be critically dependent on the chain length of fatty acids released during lipolysis. We postulated that intraduodenal administration of lauric acid (12 carbon atoms; C12) would suppress appetite, modulate antropyloroduodenal pressure waves (PWs), and stimulate the release of cholecystokinin (CCK) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) more than an identical dose of decanoic acid (10 carbon atoms; C10). Eight healthy males (19-47 yr old) were studied on three occasions in a double-blind, randomized fashion. Appetite perceptions, antropyloroduodenal PWs, and plasma CCK and GLP-1 concentrations were measured during a 90-min intraduodenal infusion of 1) C12, 2) C10, or 3) control (rate: 2 ml/min, 0.375 kcal/min for C12/C10). Energy intake at a buffet meal, immediately after completion of the infusion, was also quantified. C12, but not C10, suppressed appetite perceptions (P < 0.001) and energy intake (control: 4,604 +/- 464 kJ, C10: 4,109 +/- 588 kJ, and C12: 1,747 +/- 632 kJ; P < 0.001, C12 vs. control/C10). C12, but not C10, also induced nausea (P < 0.001). C12 stimulated basal pyloric pressures and isolated pyloric PWs and suppressed antral and duodenal PWs compared with control (P < 0.05 for all). C10 transiently stimulated isolated pyloric PWs (P = 0.001) and had no effect on antral PWs but markedly stimulated duodenal PWs (P = 0.004). C12 and C10 increased plasma CCK (P < 0.001), but the effect of C12 was substantially greater (P = 0.001); C12 stimulated GLP-1 (P < 0.05), whereas C10 did not. In conclusion, there are major differences in the effects of intraduodenal C12 and C10, administered at 0.375 kcal/min, on appetite, energy intake, antropyloroduodenal PWs, and gut hormone release in humans.

Abstract
Celiac disease is associated with impaired cholecystokinin (CCK) release. The mechanism by which CCK release is impaired is poorly understood and seems to be related to the mucosal atrophy or to decreased stimulation due to reduced intraduodenal nutrient hydrolysis. The aims of our study were to evaluate basal and postprandial CCK in celiac patients presenting with distinctive types of mucosal lesions (normal, infiltrative and atrophic), and to study the role of protein hydrolysis on CCK release. Plasma CCK was measured in 20 celiac patients (normal mucosa: n=6; infiltrative type: n=6; atrophic type=8) and 9 controls, before and after ingestion of a polymeric or a semi-elemental meal. Significant decreases in basal CCK plasma (B 0.6 [95% CI, 0.3-1.3] pmol/l; p<0.003) and postprandial CCK area under curve (AUC 34 [19-61] pmol/l x 120 min, p<0.0001) were observed in patients with an atrophic mucosa compared with treated patients (B 1.6 [1.0-2.4] pmol/l, AUC 267 [172-414] pmol/l x 120 min) or healthy volunteers (B 1.0 [0.7-1.4] pmol/l, AUC 186 [131-264] pmol/l x 120 min). A significant defective CCK release was also observed in patients with an infiltrative type: B 0.4 [0.2-0.7] pmol/l and AUC 56 [31-101] pmol/l x 120 min; p<0.0001. Administration of a semi-elemental diet did not correct the defective CCK release. In conclusion, the decreased CCK levels observed in celiac patients are not strictly related to the mucosal atrophy but rather to the lymphocytic infiltrate. Administration of a predigested meal did not correct the impaired CCK release. Some inhibitory mechanism could be involved in the CCK cell dysfunction observed in celiac patients presenting with lesser degrees of disease activity.

Abstract
It has been shown previously that medium chain triglycerides (MCT) do not affect gallbladder emptying and cholecystokinin (CCK) release. The effect of MCT on exocrine pancreas secretion in humans is unknown. We have compared the effect of enteral administration of MCT versus long chain triglycerides (LCT) on exocrine pancreatic secretion. Eight healthy subjects (three female, five male; mean age 22 +/- 1.9 years) participated in two experiments, performed in random order. Duodenal contents, obtained by aspiration, were used to calculated the output of pancreatic enzymes and bilirubin. An equicaloric amount of either MCT or LCT (2 kcal min-1) oil was continuously administered in the proximal jejunum for 2 h. Gallbladder volume was measured by ultrasonography and blood samples were drawn for determination of CCK. The experiments consisted of 1 h basal secretion, 2 h of continuous oil administration and 1 h poststimulation. During the LCT feeding the pancreatic enzyme secretion, bilirubin output, gallbladder emptying and CCK release increased significantly (P < 0.05) over basal levels. MCT had no effect on pancreatic enzyme secretion nor gallbladder emptying or CCK release. We conclude that enteral administration of MCT in the proximal jejunum does not stimulate exocrine pancreatic secretion nor gallbladder contraction or CCK release, in contrast to an equicaloric amount of LCT.

Abstract
An experiment was conducted to study the effect of feeding diets containing fat sources with different fatty acid composition (fish oil, coconut oil or lard, 10 g/100 g diet) on exocrine pancreatic secretion in piglets after weaning. A total of 16 barrows were weaned at 4 wk of age; 3 d later, they were surgically fitted with a catheter in the pancreatic duct for continuous collection of pancreatic juice. Collections of pancreatic juice were made every other day starting 4 d postsurgically. Piglets fed the fish oil diet secreted a significantly greater volume of pancreatic juice than piglets fed the coconut oil or lard diets. The output [U/(h. kg(0.75))] of lipase was higher in piglets fed fish oil than in piglets fed lard or coconut oil. The output of colipase was greater in piglets fed fish oil and coconut oil than in those fed lard. The dietary treatments did not affect the output of carboxylester hydrolase. The output of trypsin was significantly lower in piglets fed lard than in piglets fed fish oil or coconut oil diets and the output of carboxypeptidase B was greater in those fed the fish oil diet. Protein, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase A, elastase and amylase outputs did not differ among the dietary treatment groups. The apparent digestibilities of nutrients and energy were measured in feces and did not differ among groups. Thus, the greater output of lipase in fish oil-fed piglets did not result in a greater digestibility of fat in this diet.

Abstract
Gastric acid suppression therapy has for many years been the cornerstone of the treatment of peptic disease. The availability of more potent inhibitors of gastric acid secretion and the increasing demand for maintenance therapy has renewed interest in the potential side-effects of profound and/or long-lasting therapy. This chapter focuses on the potential interference of gastric acid suppression therapy with the process of the digestion and absorption of nutrients. The theoretical mechanisms by which hypochlorhydria resulting from gastric acid suppression therapy may hamper digestion and absorption are multiple and well documented. Clinical studies evaluating the effect of gastric acid suppression therapy on the assimilation of nutrients are, on the other hand, scarce and have, moreover, yielded conflicting results. The reason for the latter may be related, at least in part, to elements of study design. Data indicating overt malabsorption or clear deficiencies in patients on long-term gastric acid suppression therapy are currently lacking. Nevertheless, it seems prudent, while awaiting the results of additional long-term studies, regularly to monitor these patients, especially those with increased nutrient demand, poor intake or suboptimal stores.

Abstract
Severe undernutrition has been associated with reduced secretions of gastric acid and pancreatic enzymes. This may be the result of an impaired gut mucosal response to food and primary gastric parietal and pancreatic acinar cell secretory dysfunction as a consequence of the poor nutritional state. To investigate the relative contributions of these factors, severely undernourished patients underwent enteral-meal-stimulated (ES; n = 7) or intravenous hormone (pentagastrin and cholecystokinin-8)-stimulated (HS; n = 12) gastric acid and pancreatic enzyme secretion before and after a period of nutritional support. Results were evaluated in comparison with normal healthy control subjects (ES = 7, HS = 10). In the control subjects, enteral-meal and cholecystokinin-8 stimulation resulted in similar outputs of the pancreatic enzymes amylase (2213 versus 2305 U/h), lipase (84.93 versus 118.6 U/h), and trypsin (498.9 versus 341.4 U/h), whereas acid output was significantly lower in the ES group (10.90 versus 25.53 mEq/h; P < 0.01). Compared with controls, malnourished groups had significantly reduced secretions of amylase (ES = 870.1 U/h, HS = 686.5 U/h; P < 0.02), lipase (ES = 30.68 U/h, HS = 25.96 U/h; P < 0.02), and trypsin (ES = 175.6 U/h, HS = 109.3 U/h; P < 0.01). The response to enteral-meal or CCK-8 stimulation was comparable. Gastric acid was similarly reduced in the undernourished patients (ES = 4.39 mEq/h, HS = 5.04 mEq/h; P < 0.01). After refeeding, secretion of amylase (ES = 2351 U/h, HS = 2228 U/h) and lipase (ES = 58.83 U/h, HS = 84.91 U/h) improved to levels not significantly different from controls, whereas trypsin (ES = 226.4 U/h, HS = 213.1 U/h; P < 0.03) and acid secretion (ES = 3.52 mEq/h, HS = 11.85 mEq/h; P < 0.01) remained significantly impaired. Severe undernutrition was associated with primary gastric parietal and pancreatic acinar cell dysfunction, which, at least in the case of pancreatic enzymes, appeared to be the determining factor controlling secretion in these patients.

Abstract
In bovine species, as in human, the pancreas predominantly expresses cholecystokinin-B (CCK-B)/gastrin receptors. However, the role of this receptor in the regulation of meal-stimulated pancreatic enzyme release has not been determined. In milk-fed calves, we previously described prandial patterns of exocrine pancreatic secretion and a long prefeeding phase was observed. The present study was aimed at determining both the role of external stimuli in the outset of the prefeeding phase and the implication of pancreatic CCK-A and CCK-B/gastrin receptors in the mediation of pancreatic response to feeding. The first objective was studied by suppressing external stimuli associated with food intake (unexpected meal) and the second by infusing highly specific and potent antagonists of CCK-A (SR 27897) and CCK-B/gastrin (PD 135158) receptors during the prandial period. When calves were given an unexpected meal, the long prefeeding increase in pancreatic secretion was absent. SR 27897 (but not PD 135158) inhibited the preprandial phase and greatly reduced postprandial pancreatic juice and enzyme outflows. The expectancy of a meal seemed to elicit an increased pancreatic response right before a meal and CCK-A receptors may mediate this information via neural pathways. The implication of CCK and CCK-A receptors in mediating the postfeeding pancreatic response was also demonstrated. The participation of CCK-B/gastrin receptors in this regulation was not demonstrated.Key words: CCK-A and CCK-B/gastrin receptors, cholecystokinin, exocrine pancreatic secretion, feeding, milk-fed calf.

Abstract
Fish oil (a very long chain triglycerides, VLCT) has received much attention because of its favorable metabolic properties; however, its effect on gastrointestinal function has not been studied. We investigated the effects of intraduodenally administered VLCT on gut-hormone release [cholecystokinin (CCK), neurotensin, peptide YY (PYY)], gallbladder emptying, antroduodenal motility, and small bowel transit time (SBTT) in comparison to intraduodenal administration of saline and long chain triglycerides (LCT, corn oil) in nine healthy volunteers. Gallbladder contraction duration was significantly shorter after VLCT than after LCT (138 +/- 16 min vs 233 +/- 38 min, P < 0.05). Both fats induced a fed motility pattern, while SBTT was not significantly altered. CCK secretion was significantly reduced after VLCT compared to LCT (36 +/- 12 pM x 120 min vs 78 +/- 15 pM x 120 min, P < 0.05), whereas PYY and neurotensin release were not significantly different. In conclusion, effects of triglycerides on CCK and gallbladder motility appear to be chain-length dependent, in contrast to the effects on distal gut-hormone release and intestinal motility and transit, which appear to be chain-length independent.

Abstract
Intake of diets with high fat content is a risk factor for acute pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. The underlying mechanisms leading to the development of these diseases due to high fat intake are currently unknown. The current study was designed in rats to determine the physiologic and pathological consequences of a highfat diet that contained excess amounts of cottonseed oil or a high-carbohydrate diet that contained high amounts of sucrose on the exocrine pancreas. Rats were maintained on the diets for 4 weeks, and a cannula was inserted into the right jugular vein and one into the pancreatic duct for collection of pancreatic juice. Volume of the pancreatic juice and concentrations of amylase, lipase, and trypsinogen in the pancreatic juice were measured before and after infusions of CCK-8. Results showed that basal and CCK-stimulated pancreatic outputs of volume, amylase and lipase but not trypsinogen, were significantly elevated in intact rats given a high-fat diet when compared with rats given a high-carbohydrate diet. Forty-eight hours later, rats were sacrificed, and parts of the pancreas were removed for isolation of pancreatic acinar cells and for histopathologic studies. Pancreatic acini isolated from rats on a high-fat diet showed significantly lower basal and CCK-stimulated amylase release when compared with those on a high-carbohydrate diet. Histology of the pancreas of rats on a high-carbohydrate diet appeared normal; however, the pancreas of rats on high-fat diet showed significant alterations in exocrine pancreas. These results showed abnormalities in the exocrine pancreas of rats on a high-fat diet, that were not found in rats on a high-carbohydrate diet; further, they support the contention that a high-fat diet has a deleterious effect on the pancreas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fat is a potent stimulus of cholecystokinin (CCK) release. Apart from lipolysis, fatty acid chain length, and saturation, emulsification may also determine the magnitude of CCK release. METHODS We have studied the effect of emulsification of soybean oil on CCK and pancreatic polypeptide (PP) release (radioimmunoassay [RIA]) and gallbladder motility (ultrasonography). Six healthy subjects were studied on three separate occasions in random order during (1) intraduodenal administration of emulsified long-chain triglycerides (LCT) (6 mmol/h for 120 minutes); (2) equimolar amounts of nonemulsified LCT with addition of emulsifier; and (3) saline with emulsifier (control). RESULTS Intraduodenal administration of both nonemulsified LCT and emulsified LCT induced significant (p < .05) increases in plasma CCK and PP levels and reductions in gallbladder volume. However, compared with nonemulsified LCT, emulsified LCT resulted in a readier and significantly stronger CCK release (212+/-62 pmol/L per 120 minutes vs 36+/-7 pmol/L per 120 minutes; p < .05); PP release (2034+/-461 pmol/L per 120 minutes vs 671+/-106 pmol/L per 120 minutes; p < .05); and gallbladder contraction (77%+/-2% vs 41%+/-7%; p < .05). No significant alterations were observed in plasma CCK or PP levels and gallbladder volume during administration of saline with emulsifier. CONCLUSIONS Intraduodenal administration of a low-dose emulsified LCT more potently stimulates CCK and PP release and gallbladder contraction in comparison to equimolar amounts of nonemulsified LCT. These findings point to an important role for solubilization of LCT in determining the magnitude of CCK release from the intestine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Patients with chronic pancreatitis and exocrine insufficiency have lower intraduodenal pH compared to controls. It has been assumed that abnormal low intraduodenal pH in these patients not only results from impaired pancreatic bicarbonate secretion but also from an increased gastric acid load to the duodenum. METHODS We have tested this hypothesis by combined intragastric and intraduodenal 24 h pH monitoring in nine chronic pancreatitis patients with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and nine healthy control subjects during standardized test conditions. Postprandial gastrin and cholecystokinin release were also determined. RESULTS Median 24-h intraduodenal pH (5.90 vs. 6.00) and intragastric pH (1.60 vs. 1.70) were not significantly different between patients and controls. However, in the 2-h postprandial periods intraduodenal pH was below five for a significantly higher percentage of time in chronic pancreatitis patients compared to controls (lunch: 14.5% vs. 0.17%, P=0.011; dinner: 24.1% vs. 5.75%, P=0.05). The post-dinner intragastric pH was below three for a significantly higher percentage of time in chronic pancreatitis patients vs. controls (72.2 vs. 48.9%, P=0.04). Postprandial gastrin release was not significantly different between the two groups. Postprandial secretion of cholecystokinin (CCK), as enterogastrone, was significantly (P < 0.01) reduced in chronic pancreatitis patients (78 +/- 13 pmol/L, 120 min) compared to controls (155 +/- 14 pmol/L, 120 min). CONCLUSIONS Median intraduodenal and intragastric pH are not significantly decreased in patients with chronic pancreatitis and exocrine insufficiency but the postprandial time with an acidic pH in the duodenum (pH < 5) and in the stomach (pH < 3) is significantly (P </= 0.05) increased.

Abstract
We recently isolated and characterized 86-amino acid CCK-releasing peptide from porcine intestinal mucosa. The sequence of this peptide is identical to that of porcine diazepam-binding inhibitor (DBI). Intraduodenal administration of DBI stimulates the CCK release and elicits pancreatic secretion in rats. In this study we utilized a murine tumor cell line (STC-1 cells) that contains CCK to examine if DBI directly acts on these cells to stimulate CCK release. We investigated the cellular mechanisms responsible for this action. We showed that DBI33-50, a biologically active fragment of DBI1-86, significantly stimulated CCK secretion in STC-1 cells. This action was abolished by Ca2+-free medium. The mean basal intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) was 52 nM in fura 2-loaded STC-1 cells. DBI33-50 (1-1,000 nM) elicited Ca2+ oscillations; DBI33-50 (10 nM) increased the oscillation frequency to 5 cycles/10 min and elicited a net [Ca2+]i increase (peak - basal) to 157 nM. In contrast, bombesin and forskolin caused an initial transient [Ca2+]i followed by a small sustained [Ca2+]i plateau. Withdrawal of extracellular Ca2+ abolished Ca2+ oscillations stimulated by DBI33-50. L-type Ca2+ channel blockers nifedipine and diltiazem (3-10 microM) markedly attenuated DBI-stimulated Ca2+ oscillations. In other cell types L-type Ca2+ channels are activated by cAMP-protein kinase A. DBI33-50 failed to stimulate cAMP formation in STC-1 cells. Similarly, DBI33-50 had no effect on myo-inositol 1,4, 5-trisphosphate concentration ([IP3]), whereas bombesin caused an eightfold increase in [IP3] over basal. In addition, inhibitors of phospholipase C (U-73122), phospholipase A2 (ONO-RS-082), and protein tyrosine kinase (genistein) did not alter the Ca2+ oscillations elicited by DBI33-50. It appears that DBI33-50 acts directly on STC-1 cells to elicit Ca2+ oscillations via the voltage-dependent L-type Ca2+ channels, resulting in the secretion of CCK. Mediation of this action is by intracellular mechanisms independent of the traditional signal transduction pathways, including phospholipase C, phospholipase A2, protein tyrosine kinase, and cAMP systems.

Abstract
Bile salts modulate postprandial gallbladder emptying and pancreatic enzyme secretion, possibly by interfering with plasma cholecystokinin (CCK) responses. The regulatory role of bile salts in the absence of nutrients from the gut is poorly understood. Therefore, we studied the effect of intraduodenal sodium chenodeoxycholate on bombesin (BBS)- or CCK-stimulated plasma CCK levels, plasma pancreatic polypeptide levels, gallbladder motility, and pancreatic enzyme secretion. In a crossover design, saline without or with chenodeoxycholate was perfused intraduodenally for 3 hours in healthy volunteers. During the last hour, either BBS (n = 9) or CCK (n = 10) was infused intravenously. Chenodeoxycholate inhibited BBS-stimulated gallbladder emptying from 59% +/- 4% to 34% +/- 6% (P <.05) and intraduodenal bilirubin output from 41 +/- 9 to 21 +/- 5 micromol/h (P <.05), but it increased integrated plasma CCK levels from 157 +/- 19 to 184 +/- 19 pmol/L. 60 min (P =.01). Similarly, chenodeoxycholate administration inhibited gallbladder emptying and bilirubin output in response to intravenous CCK. Chenodeoxycholate also tended to reduce pancreatic polypeptide release and intraduodenal amylase output in response to intravenous BBS or CCK. It is concluded that intraduodenal chenodeoxycholate administration inhibits BBS- or CCK-stimulated gallbladder emptying, probably by diminishing target organ sensitivity to circulating CCK.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The hypothesis that cholecystokinin release requires adequate dietary fat digestion in the small intestine was investigated in 10 healthy volunteers, and the consequences of reduced fat hydrolysis on pancreaticobiliary secretions were assessed. METHODS Fat hydrolysis was inhibited by intraduodenal perfusion of tetrahydrolipstatin, an irreversible lipase inhibitor. An oil emulsion containing 0, 30, 60, or 120 mg tetrahydrolipstatin was perfused. After a 40-minute basal period, a test meal was eaten to stimulate cholecystokinin release and pancreaticobiliary responses. RESULTS In the control without tetrahydrolipstatin, lipase output increased threefold with meal ingestion and remained doubled for 4 hours. At the ligament of Treitz, free fatty acid concentration averaged 60% of total fatty acids. Increasing doses of tetrahydrolipstatin induced a dose-dependent inhibition of duodenal lipase activity (P < 0.01); 120 mg tetrahydrolipstatin eliminated the postprandial lipase peak activity, free fatty acid levels decreased to < 5% of total fatty acids, and plasma cholecystokinin levels were suppressed by 77% (P < 0.01). Amylase and trypsin outputs were reduced by 77% and 59%, respectively, and bilirubin secretion was virtually abolished (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS These findings show that tetrahydrolipstatin prevents triglyceride hydrolysis and that plasma cholecystokinin release, gallbladder emptying, and pancreatic enzyme secretion require adequate triglyceride digestion. These data also support the concept of negative feedback regulation of cholecystokinin secretion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Duodenum-preserving resection of the head of the pancreas (DPRHP) is performed in patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP) localized in the head of the pancreas. It has been suggested that functional integrity of the upper digestive tract is preserved after DPRHP. We tested this hypothesis with regard to gallbladder motility. METHODS Gallbladder motility and cholecystokinin (CCK) secretion were studied fasting, after cephalic vagal stimulation with sham feeding, and after regular feeding in 9 patients after DPRHP, in 6 unoperated patients with CP, and 9 healthy control subjects. RESULTS Mean fasting gallbladder volume in patients after DPRHP (49 +/- 10 cm3) and patients with CP (53 +/- 10 cm3) was larger than in controls (33 +/- 3 cm3). Sham-feeding gallbladder contraction did not differ between patients after DPRHP, patients with CP, and controls. Both postprandial CCK secretion and gallbladder contraction in patients after DPRHP (78 +/- 16 pM. 120 min; 47% +/- 6%) and patients with CP (72 +/- 18 pM.120 min; 40% +/- 7%) were significantly reduced (P < 0.05) compared with controls (151 +/- 13 pM.120 min; 74% +/- 4%). Fasting gallbladder volume, sham feeding, and regular-feeding-induced gallbladder contraction and postprandial CCK secretion did not differ between operated and unoperated patients with CP. CONCLUSIONS Gallbladder motility and CCK secretion are reduced in patients with pancreatic insufficiency. A DPRHP procedure does not further influence these results. These findings support the concept that gallbladder motor function is preserved after DPRHP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Postprandial gallbladder motility is regulated mainly by the hormone cholecystokinin (CCK). Since CCK secretion may be reduced in patients with pancreatic insufficiency (PI), we studied postprandial gallbladder motility in these patients. METHODS Fifteen patients with PI due to chronic pancreatitis and 17 healthy control subjects were studied. Gallbladder volumes (ultrasonography) and plasma CCK concentrations (RIA) were determined at regular intervals for 120 min after meal ingestion. Urinary PABA and faecal fat excretion were measured to determine pancreatic exocrine function. RESULTS Patients with PI had larger fasting gallbladder volumes than controls (48 +/- 6 cm3 versus 29 +/- 2 cm3; p < 0.01). Gallbladder ejection volume at time 120 min was not significantly different between patients with PI (14 +/- 4 cm3) and controls (20 +/- 2 cm3). However, the percentage postprandial gallbladder emptying in patients with PI was significantly reduced compared to controls (at 120 min: 29 +/- 8% versus 68 +/- 3%; p < 0.001). Residual postprandial gallbladder volume was increased in patients with PI compared to controls (at 120 min: 34 +/- 4 cm3 versus 9 +/- 1 cm3; p < 0.001). Postprandial endogenous CCK secretion was significantly reduced in patients with PI compared to controls (78 +/- 13 pM.120 min versus 155 +/- 14 pM.120 min; p < 0.001). Postprandial gallbladder emptying (%) was related to the degree of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (r = 0.81; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In patients with pancreatic insufficiency due to chronic pancreatitis: 1) fasting and residual postprandial gallbladder volumes are significantly increased; 2) postprandial CCK secretion and percentage gallbladder contraction are significantly reduced; 3) percentage postprandial gallbladder emptying is related to the degree of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The physiological relevance of duodenal bile acids in the control of cholecystokinin release and pancreatic enzyme secretion is still unknown. AIMS To provide a near physiological situation by perfusing a bile acid mixture mimicking the individual endogenous bile acid composition of the person under investigation. For maximal reduction of endogenous bile output the CCK-A receptor antagonist loxiglumide was infused intravenously. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Seven healthy volunteers were studied on four different days by a duodenal marker perfusion technique. The individual bile acid composition in duodenal juice and test meal stimulated bile acid output was assessed on day 1. Bile acids were perfused at an amount of 30 or 100% as determined on day 1 in combination with the test meal in the presence or absence of loxiglumide. Pancreatic enzymes, bilirubin, and bile acid output were determined in duodenal juice. Plasma cholecystokinin (CCK) and plasma pancreatic polypeptide (PP) were measured radioimmunologically. RESULTS Bile acid perfusion did not significantly alter stimulated pancreatic enzyme, bilirubin or bile acid output or plasma CCK. Loxiglumide did not alter basal CCK release but increased test meal stimulated CCK output fourfold (p < 0.05). The addition of bile acids to the test meal at a dose resembling 30% of bile acid output as determined on day 1 prevented this increase. Plasma PP concentration remained unchanged by bile acids and were mostly undetectable during loxiglumide infusion. CONCLUSIONS The CCK producing cell is under constant suppression by intraduodenal bile acids which cannot be further enhanced by a physiological bile acid mixture. However, removal of duodenal bile acids by inhibition of gall bladder contraction unmasks this suppression leading to a dramatic increase in plasma CCK levels. As little as one third of postprandially released bile acids completely reverse this effect. Bile acids are the most important luminal regulator of CCK release in humans.

Abstract
Long-chain triglycerides inhibit gastric acid secretion, but the effect of medium-chain triglycerides in humans is unknown. We compared the effects of intraduodenally perfused saline, medium-chain and long-chain triglycerides on gastrin-stimulated gastric acid secretion and cholecystokinin release. Eight healthy male volunteers participated in this study. Gastrin-stimulated gastric acid output was 9.4 +/- 1.1 mmol/30 min during saline perfusion. It was suppressed by medium-chain triglycerides by 43 +/- 9% (P = 0.04 vs. saline) and by long-chain triglycerides by 74 +/- 6% (P = 0.0003 vs. saline). Thus medium-chain triglycerides inhibited gastrin-stimulated gastric acid secretion but less so than long-chain triglycerides. When compared to saline perfusion (73 +/- 6 pM x 30 min) integrated plasma cholecystokinin concentrations were significantly elevated by long-chain triglycerides (96 +/- 5 pM x 30 min, P < 0.004) but not by medium-chain triglycerides perfusion (65 +/- 7 pM x 30 min). We also investigated the role of cholecystokinin infusion on gastrin stimulated gastric acid secretion. Higher concentrations (191.4 +/- 4.5 pM x 30 min) of CCK than released in the long-chain triglycerides perfusion experiment, did not suppress gastric acid secretion. Thus, circulating cholecystokinin appears not responsible for the inhibition of gastrin-stimulated gastric acid secretion by dietary fat.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS It is hypothesised that nutrients increase pancreatic enzyme secretion by converting cyclical interdigestive secretion to a non-cyclical pattern. This study tested the hypotheses that nutrients do not interrupt cycles and determined the relation of nutrients, calories, and osmotic load to the rate of pancreatic secretion. METHODS Twenty six healthy persons were intubated with oroduodenal and orogastric tubes. Each had one of four different solutions containing 12 to 36% of calories as protein, 24 to 48% as fat, and 40 to 64% as carbohydrate infused into the duodenum at 40, 90, or 160 kcal/h for 300 minutes. Nine g/l sodium chloride (290 mOsm) was added to 16 infusates; osmolality of the other 10 infusates was 24 to 98 mOsm. Pancreatic enzyme outputs were measured every 15 minutes and peaks of enzyme secretion were identified. RESULTS The number of enzyme peaks was similar for the different infusates and the proportion of nutrients in the infusates did not affect secretion of individual enzymes. The nadir, but not the peak of the cycles of enzyme outputs correlated with increasing the caloric load (r = 0.55, p < 0.003 for nadir:peak ratio). Increasing osmolality did not affect cycling but reduced (p < 0.001) enzyme output. CONCLUSION Nutrients entering the duodenum do not abolish cycles of enzyme secretion; instead they modulate cycles by increasing the nadir. Forty and 90 kcal infusions submaximally stimulate pancreatic secretion and might be used in patients with pancreatitis without producing pain; adding sodium chloride to solutions should increase this effect.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The stimulation of gastrointestinal motility and secretion during nutrient digestion is generally divided into a cephalic, gastric and intestinal phase. Little is known about the effects of macronutrients on gastrointestinal function during the postabsorptive or circulatory phase of digestion. METHODS Review of studies investigating the effects of circulating macro-nutrients such as fat, amino acids and glucose on gastrointestinal motility and secretion. RESULTS Intravenous infusion of fat emulsions delays gastric emptying and interrupts the interdigestive intestinal motor pattern. Intravenous amino acids, administered in high doses, stimulate gastric acid secretion, pancreatic secretion, gallbladder contraction, and intestinal motility. Patients receiving total parental nutrition (TPN) have inert gallbladders and are at risk of developing gallbladder sludge and stones. Administering a proportion of the daily amino acid requirement by rapid intravenous infusion may prove useful in the prevention of sludge and stone formation during TPN by promoting gallbladder contraction. Intravenous infusion of glucose, already at physiological postprandial plasma levels, inhibits gastrointestinal motility and secretion. The inhibitory effect of glucose is dose-dependent, that is, more pronounced at higher plasma glucose levels. Recent studies have indicated that in patients with diabetes mellitus alterations in gastrointestinal function are related to the degree of hyperglycaemia. CONCLUSIONS Nutrients during the circulatory phase of digestion influence gastrointestinal motility and secretion. Knowledge of these effects is relevant for conditions with increased plasma levels of macro-nutrients such as in patients with diabetes mellitus or during total parenteral nutrition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We wanted to elucidate further the regulation of the intestinal motility response to feeding. METHODS After intraduodenal administration of an oleate solution, mimicking a meal, the distal bowel motility and the plasma levels of bile acids, cholecystokinin (CCK), and neurotensin were monitored in patients operated on with restorative proctocolectomy (n = 4) or low anterior resection of the rectum (n = 4). Investigations were performed both with and without a diverting loop ileostomy. RESULTS Intraduodenal sodium oleate elicited a prompt and significant increase in distal bowel motility. The motility response failed to appear when the luminal flow was diverted by a loop ileostomy. An increase in plasma CCK preceded the motility increase, but CCK was increased also in patients with a loop ileostomy. Whereas plasma bile acid levels were significantly increased after 30-45 min (p < 0.05), both with and without a loop ileostomy, neurotensin levels were not affected. CONCLUSION Intestinal continuity is a prerequisite for the distal bowel motility response, indicating that apart from other possible mechanisms, luminal factors are involved in the regulation of intestinal motility.

Abstract
Cholecystokinin (CCK) release and gall bladder emptying in response to a fatty meal are completely abolished in coeliac disease. To determine the effect of lipid digestion on CCK release and gall bladder motility, six patients with untreated coeliac disease and a flat jejunal mucosa were studied on two separate days. After an overnight fast, the plasma CCK concentration and gall bladder volume were measured before and at regular intervals after the intraduodenal instillation of 60 ml corn oil (triglycerides) incubated with 40 ml saline or with 40 ml bile and pancreatic juice. The mean (SEM) concentration of free fatty acids in the aqueous phase of corn oil after incubation with bile and pancreatic juice (predigested corn oil) was 78 (35) mM compared with 0.1 (0.1) mM in the aqueous phase of corn oil incubated with saline (undigested corn oil). Integrated plasma CCK in response to predigested corn oil was significantly greater than that in response to undigested corn oil (101 (18) pM. 80 min v-2 (9) pM.80 min; p < 0.005). Similarly, integrated gall bladder contraction in response to predigested corn oil was significantly larger than that after undigested corn oil (817 (210) ml. 80 min v-225 (243) ml. 80 min; p < 0.05). In contrast to undigested corn oil, corn oil that has been predigested with bile and pancreatic juice induces plasma CCK secretion and gall bladder contraction in patients with untreated coeliac disease, presumably by generating and rendering soluble lipolytic products.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ileostomy output and small-intestinal transport are regulated by complex mechanisms, which the present study aimed to further elucidate. METHODS The time-related ileostomy output and bile acid excretion after intraduodenal administration of a fat solution (oleic acid, 3.5 g) was studied in 29 ileostomy patients. Eighteen patients had the entire small bowel preserved (group I), whereas 11 had various lengths of the ileum resected or bypassed (group II). RESULTS Intraduodenal fat administration resulted in a prompt and significant increase in ileostomy output in both groups. The accumulated 2-h output after fat administration amounted to 60% of the normal 24-h output in group I and 30% in group II. A marked increase in bile acid excretion preceded the flow response. The fat-induced response was abolished by administration of cholestyramine. CONCLUSIONS Bile acids seem to have important regulatory effects with regard to secretion/absorption and transport of small-bowel contents, affecting ileostomy output, with clinical implications in many patients.

Abstract
Feedback inhibition of CCK release by bile acids and pancreatic proteases is well established in the rat. The question of whether these mechanisms are important in humans has not been completely resolved, but current evidence strongly suggests that feedback regulation of CCK release by bile acids is present in humans and is physiologically significant, whereas the existence and importance of feedback regulation of CCK release by pancreatic proteases in humans are still highly controversial.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between postprandial release of cholecystokinin (CCK) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP) in healthy subjects and patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP). 14 patients with CP and 14 age-matched healthy subjects were studied. Diagnosis of CP was confirmed by standardized imaging modalities (ERCP and CT). Exocrine pancreatic function was assessed in all 28 subjects using the pancreolauryl serum test (PLT). An oral test meal was administered to stimulate endogenous hormone release. Plasma samples were taken before and at several time points after the test meal. CCK and PP plasma levels were measured by specific radioimmunoassays. Basal CCK and PP plasma levels were not different between patients with CP and controls, and were not correlated in either group. However, a direct linear correlation between integrated postprandial release of CCK and PP was found in healthy subjects (r = 0.74, P < 0.005). This postprandial coupling was not evident in patients with CP (r = 0.16; n.s.). Peak fluorescein serum concentration in patients with CP and steatorrhea (SCP) (n = 6) was < 2.5 micrograms/ml, and CCK and PP responses to the meal were significantly impaired (CCK response = 61 +/- 14 pmol/l/120 min in SCP vs. 110 +/- 14 in controls, P < 0.05; PP response = 3920 +/- 1773 pg/ml/120 min in SCP vs. 13418 +/- 3299 in controls, P < 0.05). In patients with mild/moderate exocrine insufficiency, CCK and PP responses varied greatly and were not different from controls.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
1. The exocrine pancreatic secretion in rabbits after intraduodenal perfusion of, respectively, a short-chain fatty acid (propionate), a long-chain fatty acid (oleate) and a neutral fat (intralipid) has been studied. 2. Only the neutral fat and the long-chain fatty acid stimulated the hydroelectrolyte fraction of exocrine pancreatic secretion in a dose-related fashion, but this response was not mediated by secretin release. 3. Acinar secretion was more effectively stimulated after propionate perfusion than by oleate and this was governed by different mechanisms. 4. Neutral fat, without predigestion, stimulated the pancreatic enzyme secretion in the rabbit.

Abstract
It has recently been demonstrated that the infusion of a high caloric load (3.3 kcal min-1 = 14.0 kJ min-1) into human upper jejunum inhibited pancreatic enzyme and bile salt secretion. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether this phenomenon was mediated by gastrointestinal hormones which interfere with pancreatic secretion. In six healthy volunteers, jejunal infusion of 1.3 kcal min-1 (5.5 kJ min-1) did not modify secretion of lipase and chymotrypsin to any significant extent compared with saline infusion, but the rate of 3.3 kcal min-1 (14.0 kJ min-1) resulted in an inhibition. Somatostatin and pancreatic polypeptide, which are known to inhibit exocrine pancreatic secretion, remained unchanged during jejunal nutrient infusion. The inhibition of pancreatic enzyme secretion was observed in temporal relationship with an increase of the stimulators of pancreatic exocrine secretion such as secretin, neurotensin, and CCK. The existence of an hitherto undefined inhibitor and a feedback mechanism is postulated.

Abstract
The effects of adaptation to dietary fat of different degrees of unsaturation (olive oil and sunflower oil) on bile secretion were studied in dogs at rest and after food intake. The animals were prepared with a bidirectional biliary cannula and a duodenal cannula to provide bile return. The two experimental groups were fed on diets containing 150 g fat/kg in the form of either olive oil (O) or sunflower-seed oil (S). The flow-rate under resting conditions and the patterns of response to food were similar in both experimental groups, although postprandial hypersection were significantly greater in volume and more prolonged in group O. No appreciable differences in concentration and output of biliary cholesterol or phospholipids were noted between the two groups. In contrast, the concentration and output of bile acids differed significantly both at rest and after food: concentration and output of bile acids were greater at rest in group S. However, after food intake, these responses were increased only in group O. The results suggest that the type of dietary fat affects biliary response to food, probably through differences in the contribution of the gall bladder in the two experimental groups.

Abstract
We studied the effects of intraduodenal oleic acid on the release of somatostatin to plasma and the correlation between endogenous bile output and plasma somatostatin. In five normal persons infusion of 0, 5, 10, 20, and 40 mM oleic acid dose-dependently increased the levels of somatostatin during as well as after gallbladder emptying. The difference between somatostatin concentration during and after gallbladder emptying was not significant. The amylase secretion also was significantly correlated to the dose of fat, whereas the output of bile salts was the same for all fat doses used. Our observations indicate that intraduodenal oleic acid--and not bile salts--releases somatostatin from the gut.

Abstract
The role of intraduodenal bile acids in the regulation of cholecystokinin (CCK), pancreatic polypeptide (PP), and secretin as well as exocrine pancreatic and biliary secretion was investigated by means of a duodenal marker perfusion technique in volunteers. The following solutions were perfused: (1) liquid test meal, (2) test meal with 6 g cholestyramine, (3) test meal with 2 g chenodeoxycholic acid (CDC), (4) test meal with 6 g cholestyramine and 2 g CDC, (5) 6 g cholestyramine alone, and (6) 2 g CDC alone. The test meal caused an immediate increase in CCK and PP plasma levels, whereas secretin was not significantly altered. CCK release was further enhanced by addition of cholestyramine, whereas CDC inhibited release. The stimulatory effect of cholestyramine was abolished by CDC. CDC alone and in combination with the test meal stimulated secretin release. The response of PP to the test meal was not altered by addition of either compound. Cholestyramine and CDC alone caused only a very small increase in CCK levels, whereas PP was stimulated to nearly postprandial values. Meal-stimulated pancreatic and biliary secretion was significantly enhanced by cholestyramine, CDC, and the combination of both. CDC and cholestyramine alone each stimulated enzyme and bile secretion to a greater extent than the test meal. We conclude that intraduodenal bile salts are a modulator of postprandial CCK release. Changes in exocrine pancreatic and biliary and PP secretion do not necessarily parallel CCK concentrations, suggesting that different mediators are involved in the observed bile acid-induced changes in humans.

Abstract
To determine if diets are associated with different rates of interdigestive and postprandial enzyme secretion and how quickly enzyme secretion is modulated by nutrients, 27 healthy humans were randomly selected to follow one of five diets. The calorie proportions of carbohydrate, fat, and protein in each diet was assigned by a mixture design. After the subjects followed a diet for 2 weeks, they were intubated with an oroduodenal tube, and enzyme outputs were measured during the interdigestive period and after eating a meal identical to meals eaten during the previous 2 weeks. For the next 24 hours subjects either followed the same diet or a diet that contained the same amount of fat, but the percent of carbohydrate and protein was changed by 30%. Then interdigestive and postprandial pancreatic enzyme outputs were remeasured. After 2 weeks, diets containing the most carbohydrate (50%-80%) were associated with the lowest interdigestive and postprandial amylase and lipase (P less than 0.05) and trypsin outputs (P less than or equal to 0.05). In contrast, diets containing the most fat (40%) were associated with the highest interdigestive and postprandial outputs of amylase (P less than 0.05) and trypsin (P less than 0.05). Maintaining or altering diets for 24 hours did not change interdigestive pancreatic enzyme outputs, but postprandial amylase output was significantly increased (P less than 0.05) by increasing protein and decreasing carbohydrate content of the diets by 30% for 24 hours. We conclude that diets containing a high proportion of calories as carbohydrate for 2 weeks are associated with lower interdigestive and postprandial pancreatic secretion than diets that have a high fat content. In response to diets, changes in postprandial pancreatic enzyme secretion occur within 24 hours whereas changes in interdigestive secretion (no nutrients in the lumen) occur after 24 hours.

Abstract
In most species stimulated pancreatic enzyme secretion and CCK release are increased in the absence and inhibited in the presence of luminal bile acids. Changes in CCK release are almost unequivocal in all investigated species. With respect to enzyme secretion, physiological bile acid concentrations seem to be necessary to exert an inhibitory effect on stimulated enzyme output in humans. Bile acids administered in higher concentrations may enhance basal and stimulated pancreatic secretion. Furthermore, the chemical properties of different bile acids (i.e., hydroxylation, conjugation) seem to contribute to their stimulating effect on enzyme secretion as was observed in several species. The rank order of bile acids inhibiting stimulated enzyme secretion in humans is taurocholate greater than taurodeoxycholate greater than taurochenodeoxycholate. On the other hand, chenodeoxycholic acid exerts the strongest stimulating effect on secretion release, which may account for the stimulating effect of this bile acid on exocrine pancreatic secretion. The strongest candidate for the mediator role in bile-acid-induced changes of exocrine pancreatic secretion is CCK (at least in dogs and rats). The CCK cell may be influenced either directly or indirectly. In conclusion, bile acids modulate pancreatic enzyme secretion and CCK release. CCK is a major candidate for this regulatory role under physiological conditions.

Abstract
Mongrel dogs were fed, from weaning to 9 months of age, on one of two diets that differed only in the type of fat content (virgin olive oil or sunflower oil) to compare the composition of exocrine pancreatic secretion in the basal period and in response to food. In resting pancreatic flow, electrolytes and the specific activities of amylase, lipase and chymotrypsin were similar in both experimental groups. However, lipase and amylase outputs, and amylase and protein concentrations were significantly higher in the group fed on the diet rich in sunflower oil. Food intake was not followed by any change in flow-rate or electrolyte or protein content in the group given the diet rich in olive oil. Amylase activity and output were also lower in this group, as was lipase output, whereas activity and specific activity of chymotrypsin were lower in dogs fed on the diet containing sunflower oil. The differences traceable to the composition of the two types of dietary fat supplied may be related to the balance between factors that stimulate and inhibit pancreatic secretion.

Abstract
Infusion of fat into the ileum slows small bowel transit and increases absorption of a carbohydrate meal. Paired studies were undertaken to investigate the effect of adding fat to the diet on gastrointestinal transit and absorption in eight people with terminal ileostomies. Each subject ate a daily diet that contained either low or high levels of fat but equivalent amounts of carbohydrate, protein, and fibre. Solid and liquid markers were added to the food to measure transit times. The ileostomy outputs after the meals were analysed for protein, fat, carbohydrate, polyethylene glycol, and the delivery of solid markers. All subjects produced more ileal effluent while taking the high fat diet compared with the low fat diet. Fat and protein outputs were significantly higher on the high fat days, but a greater proportion of the fat was absorbed during the high fat diet compared with the low fat diet. The output of carbohydrate on the two diets was not significantly different. The incorporation of fat in the diet produced no significant differences in the transit times of the first marker, but a slight prolongation of the transit time of the second marker. Increasing the fat content of the diet did not slow small bowel transit or increase nutrient absorption. The increase in protein and water output could be explained by an increased secretion of pancreatic enzymes.

Abstract
We investigated the possible role of endogenous secretin and cholecystokinin (CCK) on oleic acid-stimulated pancreatic exocrine secretion in anesthetized rats. Intraduodenal infusion of oleic acid (pH 6.5) in three different doses (0.06, 0.25 and 1 mmole/hr) resulted in dose-related increases in pancreatic juice volume, bicarbonate and amylase outputs (r = 0.665, 0.736 and 0.517, respectively) (P less than 0.001). Plasma secretin and CCK concentrations also elevated significantly in response to oleic acid, in a dose-related manner (r = 0.721 and 0.546, respectively) (P less than 0.001). There were statistically significant correlations between plasma secretin concentrations and bicarbonate outputs, and between plasma CCK concentrations and amylase outputs in response to oleic acid (P less than 0.01). Potent CCK antagonist, CR 1409 (5 mg/kg.hr) administered intravenously suppressed completely increase in amylase output induced by oleic acid, and partially in juice volume and bicarbonate output. It is concluded that both endogenous secretin and CCK play important roles on oleic acid-induced pancreatic secretion in rats.

Abstract
The effect of intraduodenally administered cattle bile (CB) and Na-taurodeoxycholate (TDC) on basal pancreatic secretion and plasma levels of secretin, pancreatic polypeptide (PP), and gastrin were investigated on two separate days in 10 fasting volunteers. Doses of 2-6 g CB and 200-600 mg TDC were given intraduodenally at 65-min intervals. Volume, bicarbonate, lipase, trypsin, amylase, and bilirubin were measured in 10-min fractions of duodenal juice, and GI peptides determined by radioimmunoassay. CB and TDC enhanced significantly and dose-dependently volume, bicarbonate and enzyme secretion, and plasma secretin and PP levels. In contrast, plasma gastrin showed only a marginal increase. We conclude that the hydrokinetic effect of intraduodenal CB and TDC is at least partially mediated by secretin. Gastrin could be ruled out as a mediator of the ecbolic effect, whereas other GI peptides, primarily CCK, and/or neural mechanisms must be considered possible mediators. Both pathways may also play a role in the PP release observed.
