- Abstract:
- Passage of the interdigestive migrating myoelectric complex through the proximal small bowel is associated with elevated plasma motilin levels and an increase in transmucosal potential difference suggesting altered ion transport. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether motilin may have an effect on intestinal water and ion transport. Steady state jejunal perfusion studies were carried out in healthy volunteers while either saline (control) or synthetic motilin (256 pmol/kg X h) was infused via peripheral vein. Plasma motilin levels rose from a mean of 31 to a plateau of 832 pmol/L. Motilin infusion significantly reduced absorption of water, sodium, potassium, and chloride when a plasmalike electrolyte solution was perfused. During perfusion with a bicarbonate-free salt solution, motilin significantly enhanced secretion of water, potassium, and chloride. Chloride secretion was active inasmuch as it occurred against both an electrical and chemical gradient. Motilin infusion had no effect on transit time during perfusion of the 30-cm jejunal test segments. We conclude that motilin can act as an intestinal secretagogue in the human jejunum.
