Gastrin and glucagon responses to extensive distal small bowel resection: an experimental study in dogs. 1980

A A Barros D'Sa, and K D Buchanan

The objectives of the present work were to study the role (and possible sources) of gastrin and glucagon, as measured by radioimmunoassay techniques, in the acute response to massive bowel resection in dogs. Four acute experimental models were designed for this purpose. Circulating portal and arterial hormone concentrations were estimated under basal conditions and after administration of an intraduodenal fat stimulus. Stimulated portal gastrin levels were significantly higher in animals with bowel resections than in intact animals (p less than 0.05 to p less than 0.01) but the depletion of N-terminal glucagon-like (GLI) reactivity or total GLI was only transiently significant (p less than 0.05). Pancreatectomy, with or without resection, resulted in depletion of circulating N-terminal and C-terminal GLI, although not to zero values, suggesting extra-pancreatic sources of the GLI. Portal-arterial differences were noted for GLI but not for gastrin.

D007082 Ileum The distal and narrowest portion of the SMALL INTESTINE, between the JEJUNUM and the ILEOCECAL VALVE of the LARGE INTESTINE.
D007421 Intestine, Small The portion of the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT between the PYLORUS of the STOMACH and the ILEOCECAL VALVE of the LARGE INTESTINE. It is divisible into three portions: the DUODENUM, the JEJUNUM, and the ILEUM. Small Intestine,Intestines, Small,Small Intestines
D007583 Jejunum The middle portion of the SMALL INTESTINE, between DUODENUM and ILEUM. It represents about 2/5 of the remaining portion of the small intestine below duodenum. Jejunums
D010180 Pancreatectomy Surgical removal of the pancreas. (Dorland, 28th ed) Pancreatectomies
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays
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
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
D005769 Gastrointestinal Motility The motor activity of the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT. Intestinal Motility,Gastrointestinal Motilities,Intestinal Motilities,Motilities, Gastrointestinal,Motilities, Intestinal,Motility, Gastrointestinal,Motility, Intestinal
D005934 Glucagon A 29-amino acid pancreatic peptide derived from proglucagon which is also the precursor of intestinal GLUCAGON-LIKE PEPTIDES. Glucagon is secreted by PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS and plays an important role in regulation of BLOOD GLUCOSE concentration, ketone metabolism, and several other biochemical and physiological processes.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
