[The secretion of adenosin 3',5'-monophosphate after hydrokinetic and ecbolic stimulation in the canine pancreas (author's transl)]. 1981

H Teufel, and U Boeckmann

The secretion of cAMP is studied in vivo and in the isolated perfused canine pancreas after administration of secretin and CCK or caerulein in comparison with hydrokinetic or ecbolic secretory events as well as with the magnitude and time course of changes in tissue cAMP. 1) The total output of cAMP and pancreatic juice shows a significant and positive correlation after stimulation with secretin. The linear correspondence between cAMP concentration and secretory rates of pancreatic juice beyond 3 ml/5 min and their non-linear, reciprocal correlation at lower rates of fluid secretion point to an active as well as to a passive secretory mechanism for cAMP. 2) CCK and caerulein increase secretion of cAMP too. The output of cAMP however neither corresponds to the time course of protein secretion nor correlates quantitatively with the latter. 3) The behaviour of cAMP secretion and concentration in the pancreatic juice after administration of secretin and CCK or caerulein as well as differs from the changes in tissue cAMP levels. The respective maximum of cAMP output after addition of secretin or ecbolic secretagogues during the greatest decrease in cellular cAMP levels yields on the average about 1% of the estimated reduction in total tissue cAMP content. The results indicate a functional coherence in secretion of pancreatic juice and cAMP but oppose the assumption, that essential amounts of cAMP are released during exocytosis of zymogen granules. The secretion of cAMP may be possibly influenced by cytoplasmatic cAMP levels, but neither reflects the present changes in cellular cAMP nor seems to be of a regulatory importance for the latter.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007700	Kinetics	The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
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.
D010477	Perfusion	Treatment process involving the injection of fluid into an organ or tissue.	Perfusions
D002108	Ceruletide	A specific decapeptide obtained from the skin of Hila caerulea, an Australian amphibian. Caerulein is similar in action and composition to CHOLECYSTOKININ. It stimulates gastric, biliary, and pancreatic secretion; and certain smooth muscle. It is used in paralytic ileus and as diagnostic aid in pancreatic malfunction.

D002766	Cholecystokinin	A peptide, of about 33 amino acids, secreted by the upper INTESTINAL MUCOSA and also found in the central nervous system. It causes gallbladder contraction, release of pancreatic exocrine (or digestive) enzymes, and affects other gastrointestinal functions. Cholecystokinin may be the mediator of satiety.

D004285	Dogs	The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, comprising about 400 breeds, of the carnivore family CANIDAE. They are worldwide in distribution and live in association with people. (Walker's Mammals of the World, 5th ed, p1065)	Canis familiaris,Dog
D000242	Cyclic AMP	An adenine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to both the 3'- and 5'-positions of the sugar moiety. It is a second messenger and a key intracellular regulator, functioning as a mediator of activity for a number of hormones, including epinephrine, glucagon, and ACTH.
