Secretin is an enterogastrone in humans.

We studied in humans the effect of exogenous secretin in a physiological dose on gastric acid secretion stimulated by pentagastrin and postprandial plasma gastrin concentration. Two doses of pentagastrin, 80 and 160 pmol/kg/hr were used to stimulate gastric acid secretion. Secretin in two doses, 2.8 and 5.6 pmol/kg/hr were tried to study the response on stimulated gastric acid secretion. Intravenous secretin in a dose of 5.6 pmol/kg/hr significantly inhibited the gastric acid output stimulated by intravenous pentagastrin in a dose of 160 pmol/kg/hr, from 11.25 +/- 1.5 to 5.99 +/- 1.34 meq/hr while lower dose of intravenous secretin (2.8 pmol/kg/hr) failed to inhibit the gastric acid output stimulated by the same dose of pentagastrin. However, the lower dose of intravenous secretin (2.8 pmol/kg/hr) inhibited the gastric acid output significantly from 8.78 +/- 1.21 to 6.37 +/- 1.62 meq/hr when gastric secretion was stimulated by the lower dose of pentagastrin (80 pmol/kg/hr). The plasma concentrations of secretin during intravenous secretin in a dose of 2.8 pmol/kg/hr was similar to postprandial plasma concentrations of secretin as previously reported. Doubling the dose of intravenous secretin resulted in almost twofold higher plasma concentrations than postprandial plasma concentrations. In addition, the low dose of secretin (2.8 pmol/kg/hr) suppressed the integrated postprandial gastrin response from 13.9 +/- 3.7 to 11.2 +/- 2.8 ng/min/ml (P = 0.05) when endogenous release of secretin was blocked by intravenous cimetidine. Since the dose of pentagastrin and secretin employed in this study fell in a physiologic range, the inhibitory effect of secretin on stimulated gastric acid secretion appears to be a physiologic action in humans.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

To be or not to be--an incretin or enterogastrone?

Glucagon-like peptide 1 does not comfortably fulfil the criterion of a gut derived factor responsible for an enhanced meal related insulin response; it appears logical to add the definition of a "physiological incretin hormone".

Increased gastric acid secretion after massive small bowel resection is related to a decrease in enterogastrones.

The reported increase of gastric secretion after small bowel (SB) resection is controversial. To determine the effect of SB resection on gastric acid secretion we studied basal and dose step pentagastrin-stimulated gastric acid secretion as well as basal serum gastrin, secretin, neurotensin and postprandial gastrin levels in 12 dogs, before and after resection of 60% of the intestine representing both proximal (n = 6) and distal (n = 6) SB. Rat bioassay was also performed to rule out the presence of unknown gastric secretagogues in the blood. Proximal SB resection produced a significant increase in basal and low dose (100 ng/kg/h) pentagastrin-stimulated gastric acid secretion (ED50 = 1,110 vs. 720 ng/kg/h after resection). However, no significant changes in gastric secretion were observed after distal SB resections. Neither proximal nor distal SB resection altered basal or postprandial serum gastrin levels. Proximal SB resection reduced serum secretin levels (229 +/- 38 vs. 134 +/- 16 pg/ml, p < 0.05) but did not alter neurotensin levels. Rat bioassay failed to reveal a circulating secretagogue after SB resections. We conclude that proximal but not distal SB resection increases basal and submaximally stimulated gastric acid secretion. Such an effect may be due to the observed decrease in circulating secretin levels.
