Bile salts modulate postprandial gallbladder emptying and pancreatic enzyme secretion, possibly by interfering with plasma cholecystokinin (CCK) responses. The regulatory role of bile salts in the absence of nutrients from the gut is poorly understood. Therefore, we studied the effect of intraduodenal sodium chenodeoxycholate on bombesin (BBS)- or CCK-stimulated plasma CCK levels, plasma pancreatic polypeptide levels, gallbladder motility, and pancreatic enzyme secretion. In a crossover design, saline without or with chenodeoxycholate was perfused intraduodenally for 3 hours in healthy volunteers. During the last hour, either BBS (n = 9) or CCK (n = 10) was infused intravenously. Chenodeoxycholate inhibited BBS-stimulated gallbladder emptying from 59% +/- 4% to 34% +/- 6% (P <.05) and intraduodenal bilirubin output from 41 +/- 9 to 21 +/- 5 micromol/h (P <.05), but it increased integrated plasma CCK levels from 157 +/- 19 to 184 +/- 19 pmol/L. 60 min (P =.01). Similarly, chenodeoxycholate administration inhibited gallbladder emptying and bilirubin output in response to intravenous CCK. Chenodeoxycholate also tended to reduce pancreatic polypeptide release and intraduodenal amylase output in response to intravenous BBS or CCK. It is concluded that intraduodenal chenodeoxycholate administration inhibits BBS- or CCK-stimulated gallbladder emptying, probably by diminishing target organ sensitivity to circulating CCK.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
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.
D010191 Pancreatic Polypeptide A 36-amino acid pancreatic hormone that is secreted mainly by endocrine cells found at the periphery of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS and adjacent to cells containing SOMATOSTATIN and GLUCAGON. Pancreatic polypeptide (PP), when administered peripherally, can suppress gastric secretion, gastric emptying, pancreatic enzyme secretion, and appetite. A lack of pancreatic polypeptide (PP) has been associated with OBESITY in rats and mice. Pancreatic Polypeptide (PP),Pancreatic Polypeptide Hormone,Pancreatic Prohormone
D001839 Bombesin A tetradecapeptide originally obtained from the skins of toads Bombina bombina and B. variegata. It is also an endogenous neurotransmitter in many animals including mammals. Bombesin affects vascular and other smooth muscle, gastric secretion, and renal circulation and function. Bombesin 14,Bombesin Dihydrochloride,Dihydrochloride, Bombesin
D002635 Chenodeoxycholic Acid A bile acid, usually conjugated with either glycine or taurine. It acts as a detergent to solubilize fats for intestinal absorption and is reabsorbed by the small intestine. It is used as cholagogue, a choleretic laxative, and to prevent or dissolve gallstones.

D002756 Cholagogues and Choleretics Gastrointestinal agents that stimulate the flow of bile into the duodenum (cholagogues) or stimulate the production of bile by the liver (choleretic). Choleretics,Cholagogues,Cholagogues, Choleretics,Choleretics and Cholagogues,Hydrocholeretics
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. Pancreozymin,CCK-33,Cholecystokinin 33,Uropancreozymin
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
D005260 Female Females
