Endocrine and exocrine pancreatic function in treated coeliac disease. 1986

B J Collins, and P M Bell, and S Boyd, and J Kerr, and K D Buchanan, and A H Love

Pancreatic function was assessed prospectively in a group of 18 treated adult coeliac patients, most of whom were asymptomatic. The para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) test indicated exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in three patients, all of whom had persisting gastrointestinal symptoms. Arginine, 5 g intravenously, was used to stimulate pancreatic islet cells; basal and stimulated concentrations of plasma insulin, C-terminal glucagon, N-terminal glucagon, and blood glucose did not differ from asymptomatic nondiabetic control subjects. After gluten withdrawal, coeliac patients who responded clinically had no evidence of significant pancreatic impairment, but consideration of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is worthwhile in those patients with persisting symptoms.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D010129 4-Aminobenzoic Acid An aminobenzoic acid isomer that combines with pteridine and GLUTAMIC ACID to form FOLIC ACID. The fact that 4-aminobenzoic acid absorbs light throughout the UVB range has also resulted in its use as an ingredient in SUNSCREENS.

D010179 Pancreas A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.

D002446 Celiac Disease A malabsorption syndrome that is precipitated by the ingestion of foods containing GLUTEN, such as wheat, rye, and barley.
