Plasma concentration of secretin and gastric secretion following intraduodenal calcium infusion in man. 1980

K Valnes, and O Flaten, and L E Hanssen, and O P Foss, and K M Gautvik

The aim of the present study was to test whether the previously demonstrated release of immunoreactive plasma secretin following intraduodenal bile infusion could be mediated by the calcium content of the bile. The gastric acid secretion and the serum concentration of gastrin, ionized and total calcium, calcitonin, and parathyroid hormone were also measured. A total amount of 93 mg calcium was infused intraduodenally in eight healthy volunteers during constant gastric aspiration. No effect was seen on the concentration of immunoreactive plasma secretin or serum gastrin levels in peripheral blood. The total serum calcium concentration decreased slightly during the infusion and increased immediately thereafter. Ionized serum calcium increased throughout the experiment, the increase being significant only after the calcium infusion was stopped. No effects were observed on the serum concentrations of calcitonin and parathyroid hormone.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D010281 Parathyroid Hormone A polypeptide hormone (84 amino acid residues) secreted by the PARATHYROID GLANDS which performs the essential role of maintaining intracellular CALCIUM levels in the body. Parathyroid hormone increases intracellular calcium by promoting the release of CALCIUM from BONE, increases the intestinal absorption of calcium, increases the renal tubular reabsorption of calcium, and increases the renal excretion of phosphates.

D002116 Calcitonin A peptide hormone that lowers calcium concentration in the blood. In humans, it is released by thyroid cells and acts to decrease the formation and absorptive activity of osteoclasts. Its role in regulating plasma calcium is much greater in children and in certain diseases than in normal adults.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D005755 Gastrins A family of gastrointestinal peptide hormones that excite the secretion of GASTRIC JUICE. They may also occur in the central nervous system where they are presumed to be neurotransmitters. Gastrin
