Enteropancreatic circulation of trypsin in man. 1979

H C Heinrich, and E E Gabbe, and J Brüggemann, and F Icagić, and M Classen

Following the intraduodenal installation of purified 125I-labeled human trypsin up to about 4--6% of the label was measured after 15--30 min in blood plasma and found to separate in a dextran-gel filtration system similar to purified human trypsin (-125I) after incubation with human serum. About 1% of the installed trypsin-(-125I)-dose was found already after 20 min in 100 ml of aspirated pancreatic secretion and later on also in the duodenal content. The results support the concept of the existence of an enteropancreatic circulation of trypsin also in man and explain in part the low to non-detectable levels of immunoreactive serum trypsin observed in patients with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007408 Intestinal Absorption Uptake of substances through the lining of the INTESTINES. Absorption, Intestinal
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.
D010190 Pancreatic Neoplasms Tumors or cancer of the PANCREAS. Depending on the types of ISLET CELLS present in the tumors, various hormones can be secreted: GLUCAGON from PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS; INSULIN from PANCREATIC BETA CELLS; and SOMATOSTATIN from the SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS. Most are malignant except the insulin-producing tumors (INSULINOMA).
