    Notes: Abstract The changes in plasma and duodenal cholecystokinin (CCK) concentrations after pancreatic duct occlusion were examined in rats. The rats were sacrificed 1, 3, 7, 10, 14, and 30 days after occlusion of the duct. Histological examination showed acute inflammation on days 1 and 3 after duct occlusion, interstitial fibrosis and regenerative changes on days 7, 10, and 14, and pancreatic atrophy on day 30. The plasma CCK concentration increased from 0.45 pM to 2.0 pM after the occlusion and then remained high throughout the observation period. In contrast to the stable increase in plasma CCK concentration, the CCK content in the duodenum increased on days 1 and 3, decreased on day 7, increased on day 10, reaching over the control level on day 14, and then returned to the control level on day 30. Administration of boiled and 10-fold concentrated rat pancreatic juice or human pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor for seven days after pancreatic duct occlusion reversed the decrease in duodenal CCK content. The major molecular forms of duodenal CCK were CCK-8, -33, and -58. These results indicate that (1) basal plasma CCK concentration did not reflect the duodenal CCK content, (2) duodenal CCK content was well correlated with a decrease in inflammation in the pancreas, and (3) a nonenzymatic component in the pancreatic juice reversed the decrease in duodenal CCK content and body weight caused by pancreatic duct occlusion.

    Notes: Abstract A bioassay using dispersed pancreatic acini was used to measure fasting plasma cholecystokinin (CCK) concentrations in 105 patients with various kinds of gastrointestinal diseases, 17 patients with diabetes mellitus, and 6 healthy voluntters. High plasma CCK bioactivities were observed in patients with obstructive jaundice, choledocolithiasis, and primary biliary cirrhosis. Twenty-three samples with high CCK bioactivities were assayed by the same bioassay after the addition of a specific CCK antagonist and by a CCK radioimmunoassay in order to determine whether the high CCK-like bioactivity was due to circulating CCK or other factors. High CCK bioactivities were partially inhibited by the specific CCK antagonist, CR-1409, but the activities were not totally abolished. The residual bioactivities (not inhibited by CR-1409) correlated with plasma bile acid concentrations. The inhibitable CCK bioactivities correlated with plasma CCK levels obtained by radioimmunoassay. Although the bioassay using dispersed pancreatic acini has several advantages for measuring plasma CCK, this method overestimates CCK bioactivities in patients with high plasma bile acid concentrations.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of intraluminal bile on cholecystokinin release and pancreatic exocrine secretion were studied in conscious rats. Since it has been suggested that bile acid may influence pancreatic secretion indirectly by interacting with luminal protease activities, intraduodenal protease activities were eliminated by pancreatic juice diversion accompanied with simultaneous intraduodenal infusion of aprotinin. This treatment resulted in gradual increases in pancreatic juice flow, bicarbonate and protein outputs, and an increase in plasma cholecystokinin levels, reaching plateau levels 2 hr after the start of the treatment. When endogenous bile was excluded from the intestine, the pancreatic secretion and plasma cholecystokinin concentrations further increased. The intraduodenal infusion of sodium taurocholate during bile pancreatic juice diversion inhibited cholecystokinin release, while pancreatic protein output was only transiently decreased. The results indicate that bile in the duodenum directly regulates cholecystokinin release, probably through its major components, bile salts.
