Abstract
This study investigated the effects of cholecystokinin-octapeptide (CCK-8) on pancreatic juice flow and its contents, and on cytosolic calcium (Ca2+) and magnesium (Mg2+) levels in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats compared to healthy age-matched controls. Animals were rendered diabetic by a single injection of STZ (60 mg kg(-1), I.P.). Age-matched control rats obtained an equivalent volume of citrate buffer. Seven weeks later, animals were either anaesthetised (1 g kg(-1) urethane; IP) for the measurement of pancreatic juice flow or humanely killed and the pancreas isolated for the measurements of cytosolic Ca2+ and Mg2+ levels. Non-fasting blood glucose levels in control and diabetic rats were 92.40 +/- 2.42 mg dl(-1) (n = 44) and >500 mg dl(-1) (n = 27), respectively. Resting (basal) pancreatic juice flow in control and diabetic anaesthetised rats was 0.56 +/- 0.05 ul min(-1) (n = 10) and 1.28 +/- 0.16 ul min(-1) (n = 8). CCK-8 infusion resulted in a significant (p < 0.05) increase in pancreatic juice flow in control animals compared to a much larger increase in diabetic rats. In contrast, CCK-8 evoked significant (p < 0.05) increases in protein output and amylase secretion in control rats compared to much reduced responses in diabetic animals. Basal [Ca2+]i in control and diabetic fura-2-loaded acinar cells was 109.40 +/- 15.41 nM (n = 15) and 130.62 +/- 17.66 nM (n = 8), respectively. CCK-8 (10(-8)M) induced a peak response of 436.55 +/- 36.54 nM (n = 15) and 409.31 +/- 34.64 nM (n = 8) in control and diabetic cells, respectively. Basal [Mg2+]i in control and diabetic magfura-2-loaded acinar cells was 0.96 +/- 0.06 nM (n = 18) and 0.86 +/- 0.04 nM (n = 10). In the presence of CCK-8 (10(-8)) [Mg2+]i in control and diabetic cells was 0.80 +/- 0.05 nM (n = 18) and 0.60 +/- 0.02 nM (n = 10), respectively. The results indicate that diabetes-induced pancreatic insufficiency may be associated with derangements in cellular Ca2+ and Mg2+ homeostasis.

Abstract
This investigation characterised the effects of exogenous insulin on exocrine pancreatic secretion in anaesthetised healthy and diabetic rats. Animals were rendered diabetic by a single injection of streptozotocin (STZ, 60 mg kg(-1) I.P.). Age-matched controls were injected citrate buffer. Rats were tested for hyperglycaemia 4 days after STZ injection and 7-8 weeks later when they were used for the experiments. Following anaesthesia (1 g kg(-1) urethane I.P.), laparotomy was performed and the pancreatic duct cannulated for collection of pure pancreatic juice. Basal pancreatic juice flow rate in diabetic rats was significantly (p < 0.001) increased whereas protein and amylase outputs were significantly (p < 0.001) decreased compared to control rats. Insulin (1 IU, I.P.) produced in healthy rats significant increases in pancreatic flow rate, amylase secretion and protein output compared to basal (p < 0.05). Insulin action also included a reduction in blood glucose (152.7 +/- 16.9 mg dl(-1), n = 6, prior to insulin and 42.0 +/- 8.4 mg dl(-1), n = 4, 100 min later). In fact, flow rate and glycaemia showed a strong negative correlation (p < 0.01, Pearson). Pretreatment with atropine (0.2 mg kg(-1), I.V.) abolished the effects of insulin on secretory parameters despite a similar reduction in glycaemia; in this series of experiments the correlation between flow rate and blood glucose was lost. In diabetic rats, insulin (4 IU, I.P.) did not modify exocrine pancreatic secretion. There was a fall in blood glucose (467.6 +/- 14.0 mg dl(-1), n = 10, prior to insulin and 386.6 +/- 43.6 mg dl(-1), n = 7, 120 min later). Rats, however, did not become hypoglycaemic. Similar results were observed in diabetic atropinized rats. The results of this study indicate that the effects of insulin on exocrine pancreatic secretion in anaesthetised healthy rats are mediated by hypoglycaemia-evoked vagal cholinergic activation.

Distribution of nitric oxide synthase and secretory role of exogenous nitric oxide in the isolated rat pancreas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic production and in vivo effects of nitric oxide (NO) have been shown by several studies. In order to examine the direct actions of the NO donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP), this study used in vitro specimens of the rat pancreas where the distribution of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and the secretory effects of SNP and the cyclic GMP (cGMP) analog 8-bromo cyclic GMP (8-Br cGMP) were investigated. METHODS NO containing pancreatic nerves were visualized by NOS immunohistochemistry. Basal and stimulated amylase output from rat pancreatic segments was measured by an on-line fluorimetric method. Stimulation was achieved by either acetylcholine (ACh) or electrical field stimulation (EFS). Intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) was measured in dispersed pancreatic acinar cells. RESULTS NOS containing nerves were demonstrated in the vicinity of pancreatic acini and blood vessels. SNP and 8-Br cGMP inhibited both basal and EFS evoked amylase output but failed to inhibit ACh induced amylase output. Basal [Ca2+]i was decreased by both SNP and 8-Br cGMP but neither SNP nor 8-Br cGMP influenced the ACh evoked increase in [Ca2+]i. CONCLUSION NO is well distributed in the rat exocrine pancreas. Exogenous nitric oxide may have a dual action in the isolated rat pancreas: Inhibition of basal amylase secretion in acinar cells and inhibition of ACh release from intrinsic nerve terminals. Both effects seem to be calcium dependent and possibly mediated by cGMP.

Abstract
In this study the effects of changes in extracellular magnesium ([Mg(2+)](o)) and calcium ([Ca(2+)](o)) concentrations on basal and on nerve-mediated and acetylcholine (ACh)-evoked in vitro amylase release and calcium mobilization were investigated in rat parotid gland tissue. In the presence of a normal (2.56 mM) [Ca(2+)](o), both zero (0 mM) and an elevated (10 mM) [Mg(2+)](o) significantly attenuated basal and ACh-evoked amylase release compared to the response obtained in normal (1.1 mM) [Mg(2+)](o). During electrical field stimulation (EFS) of parotid tissues, only elevated [Mg(2+)](o) reduced amylase release. In a Ca(2+)-free medium, both basal and ACh-evoked amylase output were markedly reduced compared to the responses obtained under similar conditions in normal [Ca(2+)](o). Again, the ACh-induced amylase release in a Ca(2+)-free solution was larger in normal [Mg(2+)](o) than when the [Mg(2+)](o) was either zero or was elevated to 10 mM. Perturbation of [Mg(2+)](o) had no significant effect on basal intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in parotid acinar cells loaded with the fluorescent Ca(2+) indicator fura-2. Both zero Mg(2+) and an elevated [Mg(2+)](o) significantly reduced the ACh-induced rise in the peak and the plateau phase of the Ca(2+) transient that was seen in normal [Mg(2+)](o). In parotid acinar cells loaded with the fluorescent Mg(2+) indicator magfura-2, ACh elicited a gradual decrease in intracellular free Mg(2+) concentration ([Mg(2+)](i)) to below the basal level. The results indicate that both hypo- and hypermagnesaemia may reduce both basal and ACh-evoked amylase secretion from the salivary gland. As far as the ACh-evoked response is concerned, the effect may be exerted by a decrease in cellular Ca(2+) transport.

Abstract
The distribution of nitric oxide synthase in both neuronal and non-neuronal pancreatic tissues and the role of nitric oxide in the control of exocrine pancreatic secretion are reviewed in this article. Earlier reports based on in vivo studies suggested that nitric oxide can affect the secretory activity of the exocrine pancreas through changes in pancreatic blood flow. More recently, the employment of either nitric oxide synthase inhibitors or nitric oxide donors in in vitro preparations has provided evidence that nitric oxide can exert a direct action on this gland independently on its vascular effects. Most research in this area seems to indicate that modulation of exocrine pancreatic function by nitric oxide is exerted via activation of guanylate cyclase and generation of cGMP, although other pathways cannot be excluded. Experiments performed over the last year in our laboratory reveal a novel and interesting mechanism based on the ability of nitric oxide to control the release of endogenous neurotransmitter in the pancreas and, subsequently, the nerve-mediated enzyme secretion.

Abstract
This study investigates the effects of the islet hormones insulin (Ins), glucagon (Glu), and somatostatin (Som) with nerve stimulation (EFS) acetylcholine (ACh) and cholecytokinin-octapeptide (CCK-8) on amylase secretion and intracellular free calcium concentration [Ca(2+)](i) in the pancreas of age-matched control and diabetic rats. Either Ins, Glu or Som elicited small increases in amylase secretion from the pancreas of age-matched control animals compared to a much larger increase in amylase secretion with either EFS, ACh or CCK-8. Combining the islet hormones with either EFS, ACh or CCK-8 resulted in marked potentiation of amylase output. In the diabetic pancreas, the islet hormones had no effect on amylase secretion compared to diabetic control. Moreover, either EFS, ACh or CCK-8 evoked a much smaller increase in amylase output compared to age-matched control. In addition, the islet hormones failed to potentiate the secretory effects of either EFS, ACh or CCK-8. In fura-2 loaded acinar cells from age-matched control pancreas either Ins or Glu elicited a small increase in [Ca(2+)](i) whereas Som had no effect. Both ACh and CCK-8 evoked large increases in [Ca(2+)](i) compared to control. Combining either Ins, Glu or Som with either ACh or CCK-8 resulted in a marked elevation in [Ca(2+)](i) compared to the responses obtained with either the islet hormones, ACh or CCK-8 alone. In diabetic fura-2 loaded pancreatic acinar cells, the islet hormones had no effect on [Ca(2+)](i) compared to control and moreover, the responses were much smaller than those obtained in acinar cells from age-matched control. Both ACh and CCK-8 induced large increases in [Ca(2+)]( i) in diabetic acinar cells. However, combining the islet hormones with either ACh or CCK-8 failed to enhance [Ca(2+)](i) compared to the reponses obtained in acinar cells from age-matched control. The results suggests that [Ca(2+)](i) homeostasis is deranged during diabetes mellitus and this in turn is probably associated with reduced pancreatic amylase secretion.

Abstract
This article reviews studies on the adaptation of the exocrine pancreas to dietary fat. We include all the latest information about the mechanisms that underlie the adaptation of the secretory mechanism of the exocrine pancreas to the amount and the type of dietary fat. We review the kinetics of pancreatic adaptation and the mediators of the adaptive response of the pancreas including cellular and molecular mechanisms (modulation of intracellular messengers and gene expression of the different enzymes and secretagogues involved in the adaptation process). At the same time we include our results in this field in dogs and humans.

Abstract
The mechanisms of magnesium (Mg2+) transport, the regulation of intracellular Mg2+ concentrations and the relationship between Mg2+ and Ca2+ signaling during the stimulus-secretion coupling process in pancreatic acinar cells and other secretory epithelia are reviewed in this article. Our results demonstrate the existence of a Na+- and ATP-dependent transport system for Mg2+ extrusion from Mg2+-loaded cells. Moreover, employing such different techniques as spectrofluorimetry and atomic absorbance spectroscopy to measure intracellular free magnesium concentration [Mg2+]i from magfura-2-loaded acini and acinar cells and Mg2+ content in effluent samples from perfused pancreatic segments, respectively, confirm that secretagogues such as acetylcholine (ACh) and cholecystokinin-octapeptide (CCK-8) can evoke marked and significant extrusion of Mg2+ which is closely associated with the mobilization of intracellular calcium. These effects may be modulated by different mediators including cAMP, Protein Kinase C and nitric oxide/cGMP. This reduction in [Mg2+]i seems to be a prerequisite for optimal generation and maintenance of the calcium signal and subsequently, the secretion of enzymes, since an increase in extracellular Mg2+ concentration, [Mg2+]o and an increase in [Mg2+]i inhibit secretagogue-induced secretory responses, an effect exerted through a derangement of the calcium signaling events. In conclusion, the evidence presented in this review strongly supports an important modulatory role of magnesium in the control of secretory epithelial cells function.

Abstract
This study investigates the effects of the islet hormones, insulin (Ins), glucagon (Glu) and somatostatin (Som) with cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) on amylase secretion and intracellular free calcium concentration [Ca2+]i and their pattern of distribution in the isolated pancreas of normal and diabetic rats. Ins and Glu evoked small increases in amylase output from pancreatic segments compared with a much enhanced effect of CCK-8. In contrast, Som induced a biphasic response comprising an initial decrease followed by a secondary increase and this biphasic response may be dependent upon the concentration. Combining the islet hormones with CCK-8 resulted in marked potentiation in amylase output compared with either CCK-8 alone or the individual hormone. Genistein and tyrphostin A25, the tyrosine kinase inhibitors, evoked a small decrease in amylase output from pancreatic segments. They had no effect on the CCK-8-evoked secretory response but markedly inhibited the potentiation of the islet hormones with CCK-8. In pancreatic acini and acinar cells Ins, Glu and Som individually evoked small increases in amylase output compared with a much larger response with CCK-8. When the islet hormones were combined with CCK-8 there was no potentiation of amylase output. Similarly, when rats were rendered diabetic by prior treatment with streptozotocin Ins, Glu and Som failed to potentiate the secretory response of CCK-8. In fura-2-loaded pancreatic acinar cells Ins or Glu evoked small increases in [Ca2+]i compared with a much larger elevation with CCK-8. Ins, Glu and Som each enhanced the CCK-8-evoked [Ca2+]i. Genistein elicited a decrease in [Ca2+]i both in the absence and presence of the islet hormones. It also decreased the elevation in [Ca2+]i resulting from the combined presence of CCK-8 with either Ins or Glu but it had no effect on CCK-8 in combination with Som. In pancreatic acinar cells from diabetic rat Ins, Glu and Som had no detectable effect on CCK-8-evoked elevation in [Ca2+]i compared with the response obtained with CCK-8 alone. CCK-8-immunopositive cells were distributed around the walls of blood vessels, numerous Ins-positive cells in the central and peripheral parts of the islets of Langerhans, Glu-immunoreactive cells in the periphery of islets and Som-positive cells in the outer part of the islets. During diabetes, the number of CCK-immunopositive cells remained unchanged whereas the number of Ins-positive cells decreased coupled with an increase in the number of Glu-positive cells. The results indicate that both tyrosine kinase and cellular Ca2+ seem to be the intracellular mediators involved with the enhanced secretory responses obtained with a combination of the islet hormones with CCK-8. Moreover, the presence of viable pancreatic islets of Langerhans seems to be associated with the potentiation of the islet hormones with CCK-8.

Abstract
To study pancreas enzyme content regulation when the diet was modified in suckling goats, a comparison was made between kids fed a milk replacer and ones fed maternal milk. A total of 25 preruminant Granadina breed goats were bottle-fed a milk replacer ad libitum from postnatal days 3 to 28 (until the age of 3 days kids had been fed colostrum). Body weight, pancreas weight, total protein concentration, and enzyme activities in pancreatic tissue were determined at 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days of age, and the results were compared to those previously obtained in kids fed maternal milk for the same period. Lipase activity was significantly lower in the group fed milk replacer, which was poorer in fat. Amylase activity was higher in this group, perhaps due to the starch products present in the milk substitute. However, the postnatal evolution of chymotrypsin activity followed a similar pattern regardless of diet. Our results seem to confirm that in preruminant kids there is a nutritional regulation of pancreatic amylase and lipase activities, depending on the amounts of their respective substrates in the diet, similar to that described in nonruminants.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate in human subjects whether or not the ingestion of two liquid meals that differed only in their fatty acid composition (due to the addition of olive oil (group O) or sunflowerseed oil (group S) as the source of dietary fat) would lead to differences in the pancreatic enzyme activities secreted into the duodenum. The experiments were performed in eighteen cholecystectomized subjects who, during the 30 d period immediately before surgery, modified their habitual diets in such a way that their fat composition would reflect, as far as possible, that of the experimental meals. Lipase (EC 3.1.1.3), colipase, amylase (EC 3.2.1.1), chymotrypsin (EC 3.4.21.1) and trypsin (EC 3.4.21.4) activities were measured in duodenal contents aspirated before and after the ingestion of the test meals. The plasma levels of secretin and cholecystokinin (CCK) were also examined. Duodenal enzyme activities were similar in resting conditions. No significant differences were revealed in postprandial enzyme activities, except for lipase activity, which was higher in group O, probably in relation to the greater plasma CCK concentrations observed in this group. In the absence of enzyme output data, we should not exclude the possibility that the type of dietary fat will affect human pancreatic enzyme secretion to a greater extent than is evident from the present study, for instance through a flow-mediated effect, as we previously observed in dogs.

Abstract
Suckling goats were fed ad libitum during the first month of their life by goat milk or by a milk replacer. These diets differed in the amount of fat and the type of protein. The composition of the exocrine pancreatic secretion in the basal period and in response to food were compared in both conditions. Pancreatic juice was collected one hour before meal intake up to the 8th postprandial hour. Pancreatic flow rate, bicarbonate and chloride levels, total protein and enzyme activities were measured. In resting conditions and in response to food, the lipase activity was found to be significantly lower in the group fed with milk replacer, which was poorer in fat. These results indicate an adaptation of the enzyme output to the available quantity of its substrate, similar to that described in the rat. Postprandial differences in the pancreatic flow rate, electrolytes and total protein were found between both groups. Their origin can be attributed to the protein used (soyabean) in the milk substitute. Such soya protein alters the normal clot formation in the abomasum and allows an accelerated abomasal digesta outflow and duodenal pH alkalinisation.

Abstract
The effect of age on the exocrine pancreatic function was studied in fifteen Granadina goat kids during the second, third and fourth postnatal week. The animals, chronically catheterized, were bottle-fed on goat milk twice a day. Pure pancreatic juice was collected from 1 hour before and throughout 8 hours after milk ingestion. Pancreatic flow rate, bicarbonate and chloride concentrations, total protein content and enzyme activities were determined. In resting conditions, pancreatic flow rate augmented with age, probably reflecting an increase in body and pancreas weight. Resting amylase and lipase activities recorded significant increases during the fourth week of life. That may be associated, respectively, to the immediate change to a high-starch diet and to a simultaneous decrease in the salivary lipase levels. Our results also showed age-related differences after ingestion of milk, mainly concerning the volume response and the lipase output. The latter can be explained in the same way as regarding resting conditions. With respect to the volume response, several factors could be implicated, such as the circulating levels of gastrointestinal hormones, the sensitivity of the pancreas to such stimuli, the maturation degree in the secretory mechanisms of the gland or the development of the digestive tract.

Abstract
A total of 25 preruminant Granadina breed goats were used. They were bottle-fed goat milk ad libitum from postnatal day 3 to 28. Until the age of 3 d, kids were fed colostrum. Body weight, pancreas weight, total protein concentration, enzyme activities in pancreatic tissue and hormone concentrations (cortisol, gastrin, T3 and T4) were determined at 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 d of age. Our results show that the rates of pancreatic synthesis and secretion of chymotrypsin are well developed at birth in the kid, and may compensate for possible deficiencies in gastric and/or enterocytes intracellular proteolysis. In week 4, there was a marked increase in amylase activity, change that can be attributed to the beginning of the transitional period known as weaning. The significant increase in circulating concentration of cortisol during week 4 suggests the involvement of corticosteroid as a mediator of pancreatic development at weaning. Changes in blood levels of this hormone are believed to be important in the expression of amylase in the neonatal period. However, T3-T4 blood levels remained unchanged from d 3 to 28, suggesting that, in the kid, these hormones appear to have no clear influence upon the postnatal development of the exocrine pancreas.

Abstract
The effects of adaptation to two diets differing in the type of dietary fat on the gastric acid secretory response to food and on the circulating levels of gastrin, somatostatin and peptide YY (PYY) were examined in humans. The study involved 18 cholecystectomized subjects previously submitted to a 30-day adaptation period to diets containing olive (group O) or sunflower oil (group S) as the fat source. During the experiments, physiological stimulation was achieved by ingestion of 200 ml of oleic acid- (group O) or linoleic acid-enriched (group S) liquid mixed meals. These resulted in an immediate rise in gastric pH. In group S, the return to the premeal value was completed within 60 min, and a further decline to values significantly lower than the basal ones was observed at the end of the study period. In contrast, ingestion of the meal containing olive oil attenuated and prolonged the pH decrease after the meal, this being associated with the suppression of postprandial gastrin response. Food ingestion induced no significant changes in plasma somatostatin concentration in either group, and no significant differences were revealed between them during the basal or postprandial situations. Plasma PYY levels were consistently higher in group O throughout the entire study period, although significance was reached only at resting. In conclusion, our results show that a 30-day adaptation period to diets containing olive oil as the main source of dietary fat results, compared with those containing sunflower oil, in an attenuated gastric secretory function in response to a liquid meal in humans. The effects of olive oil were associated with a suppression of serum gastrin and higher levels of PYY.

Abstract
Mongrel dogs were fed, from weaning to 6 months of age, on one of two 9% lipid diets that differed only in the type of fat content (sunflower oil or virgin olive oil) to study their effects on exocrine pancreatic secretion, in the basal period and in response to food. In addition, the results were compared with those obtained in a previous work performed by us on dogs adapted for 8 months to diets containing a higher (15%) amount of the same dietary fats to further evaluate the influence of the amount of dietary fat and the length of the adaptation period. The results from the present study show that both the volume and bicarbonate secreted in the absence of stimuli are unaffected by the quality of dietary fat. In contrast, in response to food, the pancreatic juice flow and the bicarbonate output were significantly higher in the group of animals given the sunflower oil diet. The differences seem to be related with the oleic acid content in the diets and the effectiveness of this fatty acid in triggering the release of inhibitory peptides such as pancreatic polypeptide and peptide YY. The comparison between the results from our present and previous studies supports the afore-mentioned hypothesis and confirms the existence of a clear influence of the amount and type of dietary fat, especially the oleic acid content, upon the pancreatic response to food, without ruling out a role for the duration of the adaptation period.

Abstract
Adult mongrel dogs were fed during 8 days on one of two diets, one rich in fat (FR) and the other rich in carbohydrates (CR), in order to compare the exocrine pancreatic secretion in the basal period and in response to food. Under resting conditions, mean pancreatic juice flow and mean values of protein content, amylase and lipase activity and production were similar in both experimental groups, suggesting that the period of adaptation used did not produce any influence on the measured parameters. No significant difference between the two dietary groups was found in postprandial volume of pancreatic juice. The peak of pancreatic juice flow in FR-group was smaller but remained elevated until the end of the 5th h, possibly due to the fact of delayed gastric emptying when animals are fed with a high fat diet. No significant differences were found between the groups in neither postprandial amylase activity and secretion nor lipase activity. On the other hand, lipase output was significantly higher in FR-group but only during the 5 postprandial h. This fact may be related to some intestinal factor stimulated by the hydrolysis products of fat. Finally, our findings show that no rapid adaptation of exocrine pancreatic secretion exist to the diet, at least in our experimental conditions. Of course, this does not exclude that the phenomenon of adaptation may appear in the dog under long-term adaptation to the diet.

Abstract
We have done a clinical study in patients with benign biliary disease and indication for surgery, with the aim of analyzing some parameters of gastric secretion, biliary and pancreatic function, and gastrointestinal hormones in relation to the quantity and quality of the dietary fat (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids), acting on the postoperative enteral ingestion, modifying the lipid source by its elaboration. In the present work we show the results derived from the analysis of the gastric and duodenal juices in relation to the type of fat administered, with a global description of the study being necessary. The studied sample consisted of 20 patients diagnosed with simple gallstones, who were divided into two groups (n = 10) according to the usual ingestion of fats: olive oil (Olive Group) or sunflower oil (Sunflower Group). A control group (n = 10) has also been considered, without taking into account their dietary habits. The patients were subjected to surgery, and after the immediate postoperative period they were fed, orally, with an enteral diet prepared with commercially available formulae (modular EDA); as a lipid source we have added olive oil, rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, for the Olive Group, and sunflower oil, rich in polyunsaturated oil, for the Sunflower Group. In the control group cream was added as lipid source (mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids). The caloric value of the diet is calculated based on the caloric value of its components (protein: 17%, carbohydrate: 53%, lipid 30%). The daily caloric requirements are determined based on the daily basal metabolism, according to the Harris-Benedick formula.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
