[Can cerulein replace pancreozymin in the diagnosis of exocrine pancreatic function? (author's transl)]. 1981

J Mössner, and H J Pusch, and W Koch

The effect of the decapeptide cerulein on exocrine pancreatic function was compared with pancreozymin by means of intraindividual double stimulation. 100 ng/kg bw/45 min of synthetic cerulein led to a greater enzyme excretion than 2 U/kg bw pancreozymin. This increase in enzyme secretion was independent of whether the pancreas function was normal or disordered. In the selected experimental procedure, cerulein increased the excretion of enzymes (chymotrypsin, trypsin, lipase, amylase) whether it was infused in connection with or before an injection of pancreozymin. Cerulein can therefore completely replace pancreozymin in the diagnosis of pancreatic function.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.
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. Caerulein,Cerulein,Ceruletid,FI-6934,Takus,FI 6934,FI6934
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.
