A comparative, case-control study on the pre- and postprandial release of three gastrointestinal peptides implicated in gallbladder motility has been carried out in humans in the attempt to determine their possible role in the pathogenesis of cholelithiasis. Fifty-seven adult patients (40 females and 17 males) with an ultrasound diagnosis of gallstones and 20 healthy subjects (9 females and 11 males) without cholelithiasis or other digestive pathology were studied. Plasma substance P, neurotensin and somatostatin were measured by means of RIA-I125 in basal fasting conditions and 30, 60 and 90 minutes after the oral intake of a semiliquid mixed meal. The levels of secretion of each hormone were compared in patients and healthy controls on an overall basis and in terms of sex, age and body weight. We found a basal and postprandial hypersecretion of substance P in patients with gallstones when compared with controls. Individuals with cholelithiasis showed a moderate decrease in neurotensin secretion after the oral meal. Somatostatin release was unchanged. In conclusion, patients with gallstones may present a functional disorder in the secretion of gastrointestinal hormones involved in gallbladder motility.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D009496 Neurotensin A biologically active tridecapeptide isolated from the hypothalamus. It has been shown to induce hypotension in the rat, to stimulate contraction of guinea pig ileum and rat uterus, and to cause relaxation of rat duodenum. There is also evidence that it acts as both a peripheral and a central nervous system neurotransmitter.
D002769 Cholelithiasis Presence or formation of GALLSTONES in the BILIARY TRACT, usually in the gallbladder (CHOLECYSTOLITHIASIS) or the common bile duct (CHOLEDOCHOLITHIASIS). Gallstone Disease,Cholelithiases,Gallstone Diseases
D005260 Female Females

D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
D013004 Somatostatin A 14-amino acid peptide named for its ability to inhibit pituitary GROWTH HORMONE release, also called somatotropin release-inhibiting factor. It is expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems, the gut, and other organs. SRIF can also inhibit the release of THYROID-STIMULATING HORMONE; PROLACTIN; INSULIN; and GLUCAGON besides acting as a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator. In a number of species including humans, there is an additional form of somatostatin, SRIF-28 with a 14-amino acid extension at the N-terminal.

D013373 Substance P An eleven-amino acid neurotransmitter that appears in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. It is involved in transmission of PAIN, causes rapid contractions of the gastrointestinal smooth muscle, and modulates inflammatory and immune responses.

D016022 Case-Control Studies Comparisons that start with the identification of persons with the disease or outcome of interest and a control (comparison, referent) group without the disease or outcome of interest.
