    Notes: Abstract The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of acute hyperglycemia on the gallbladder contraction induced by intravenous administration of high doses of amino acids (Vamin 18, 250 mg protein/kg/hr). Six healthy volunteers were studied in random order on two occasions during normoglycemia and hyperglycemia with blood glucose levels stabilized at 15 mmol/liter. Gallbladder volumes, measured with ultrasonography, were studied for 60 min before and for 120 min during intravenous infusion of amino acids (IVAA). Administration of IVAA resulted in a significant reduction (P〈0.05) in gallbladder volume from 32±5 cm3 to 17±2 cm3 during normolgycemia. During hyperglycemia no significant changes in gallbladder volume were observed in response to IVAA. No significant changes in plasma CCK concentration, the major hormonal stimulus for gallbladder contraction, occurred in response to IVAA. During hyperglycemia, pancreatic polypeptide (PP) secretion, as an indirect measure of vagal cholinergic tone, in response to IVAA was significantly (P〈0.05) reduced compared to normoglycemia. It is concluded that: (1) administration of high doses of IVAA results in significant gallbladder contraction, (2) high doses of IVAA do not stimulate CCK secretion, (3) acute hyperglycemia inhibits IVAA-induced gallbladder contraction, and (4) acute hyperglycemia inhibits basal and stimulated plasma PP secretion, suggesting impaired vagal-cholinergic tone during hyperglycemia.

    Notes: Abstract The increased risk of gallstone formation in acromegalics treated with the somatostatin analog octreotide has been related to an impaired gallbladder emptying. To determine the duration of these inhibitory effects, meal-stimulated gallbladder motility, plasma cholecystokinin (CCK), and pancreatic polypeptide (PP) were measured in five acromegalics treated for 6–32 months with 200–300 μg octreotide daily. Meal tests were performed 45 min, 8 hr and two weeks after the last 100-μg subcutaneous dose. Results were compared with those in normal subjects. Integrated postprandial gallbladder contraction (−125±194 cm3/120 min) and integrated PP secretion (−0.1±0.2 nmol/liter/120 min) were completely suppressed in the 45-min study, but significantly improved (P〈0.05) when measured 8 hr (1376±322 cm3/120 min and 3.0±1.0 nmol/liter/120 min) and two weeks (1437±263 cm3/120 min and 10.6±1.6 nmol/liter/120 min) after the last dose of octreotide. The integrated gallbladder contraction in acromegalics at 8 hr was comparable to that at two weeks and to that in normal subjects, but the integrated PP response at 8 hr was significantly smaller (P〈0.05 vs two weeks and vs normals). Integrated plasma CCK secretion at 45 min (0.13±0.06 nmol/liter/120 min) was not statistically significantly different from the response at 8 hr (0.15±0.02 nmol/liter/120 min) and from that in normal subjects, but it was significantly increased at two weeks after cessation of octreotide (P〈0.05 vs 45 min and 8 hr). In conclusion, during long-term octreotide treatment in acromegalics, initial abolishment of postprandial gallbladder emptying is completely reverted to normal values 8 hr after the last subcutaneous dose. No major differences in postprandial plasma CCK at 45 min and at 8 hr were observed when compared with normal subjects, whereas plasma PP responses were diminished.
