Exposure to higher levels of fat in the diet increases the secretion of fat-digesting enzymes in pancreatic juice. This study examines the functional consequences of this phenomenon and demonstrates that adapting rats to high fat (triglyceride) loads increases the release of cholecystokinin (CCK) and the pancreatic secretory response to intraduodenal fat. Lipolytic activity in the small intestine was also higher in adapted rats. Exchanging pancreatic juice from unadapted rats with pancreatic juice from adapted rats decreased the response to fat in adapted rats and increased the response to fat in unadapted rats. Infusing oleic acid into unadapted rats stimulated CCK secretion and pancreatic exocrine secretion to levels observed with triglycerides in adapted rats. Pancreatic exocrine secretion in response to intraduodenal fat in rats adapted to a high-fat (20%) diet were significantly higher than the responses seen in rats fed a low-fat (5%) diet. Adaptation to fat increases the pancreatic secretory and plasma CCK responses to fat, apparently by increasing the efficiency of triglyceride digestion and thereby increasing CCK release.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007267 Injections Introduction of substances into the body using a needle and syringe. Injectables,Injectable,Injection
D008066 Lipolysis The metabolic process of breaking down LIPIDS to release FREE FATTY ACIDS, the major oxidative fuel for the body. Lipolysis may involve dietary lipids in the DIGESTIVE TRACT, circulating lipids in the BLOOD, and stored lipids in the ADIPOSE TISSUE or the LIVER. A number of enzymes are involved in such lipid hydrolysis, such as LIPASE and LIPOPROTEIN LIPASE from various tissues. Lipolyses
D008297 Male Males
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.
D010189 Pancreatic Juice The fluid containing digestive enzymes secreted by the pancreas in response to food in the duodenum. Juice, Pancreatic,Juices, Pancreatic,Pancreatic Juices
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.

D004041 Dietary Fats Fats present in food, especially in animal products such as meat, meat products, butter, ghee. They are present in lower amounts in nuts, seeds, and avocados. Fats, Dietary,Dietary Fat,Fat, Dietary
D004386 Duodenum The shortest and widest portion of the SMALL INTESTINE adjacent to the PYLORUS of the STOMACH. It is named for having the length equal to about the width of 12 fingers. Duodenums
D005227 Fatty Acids Organic, monobasic acids derived from hydrocarbons by the equivalent of oxidation of a methyl group to an alcohol, aldehyde, and then acid. Fatty acids are saturated and unsaturated (FATTY ACIDS, UNSATURATED).
