Abstract: | The effect of tryptic activity in duodenum on L-phenylalanine (100 mmol.1-1 intraduodenally) stimulated pancreatic secretion in 18 healthy volunteers has been evaluated. Intraduodenal infusion of trypsin (150 mg) during 1 h caused the reduction of alpha-amylase and lipase output by ca 30%. The infusion of aprotinin at the dose of 0.5.10(6) KIU during 30 min caused return of the alpha-amylase and lipase output to the pretryptic values. The infusion of trypsin in higher dose (300 mg) caused more pronounced decrease of amylase and lipase output (ca 45%). Our data indicate that active trypsin in duodenum is responsible for the inhibition of L-phenylalanine stimulated pancreatic enzyme secretion in man. These results corroborate the existence of feedback regulation of stimulated pancreatic secretion by intraduodenal trypsin in man. |
