Abstract
The effect of luminal gastrin on the secretion of pancreatic juice was studied in seven conscious preruminant calves employing luminal infusions of gastrin and cholecystokinin (CCK)-9 and pharmacological CCK 1 and CCK 2 receptor blocks with antagonists. The study was performed in the preprandial and prandial states. Pharmacological blocking of the CCK 2 receptor, like that of the CCK 1 receptor, resulted in reduction of pancreatic postprandial secretion and increased the duration of the prandial pattern of duodenal electrical activity. Exogenous luminal gastrin, like luminal CCK-9, enhanced the secretion of pancreatic juice proteins, though the overall effect of gastrin was weaker than that of CCK-9. The effect was inhibited by infusion of CCK 2 but also by CCK 1 receptor antagonist. In conclusion, duodenal luminal gastrin can stimulate exocrine pancreatic secretion by a mechanism that depends on CCK 2 receptors in calves. Involvement of the CCK 1 receptor in this mechanism needs further investigation. Prandial pancreatic secretory and duodenal motility cycles can be regulated by endogenous gastrin release.
