- Abstract:
- This study was designed to elucidate the mechanism by which somatostatin administration ameliorates or abolishes diarrhea in pancreatic cholera syndrome (PCS). Absorption (or secretion) of water and electrolytes was measured in 30-cm segments of jejunum of 18 healthy volunteers in whom PCS was mimicked by intravenous infusion of VIP. Using the triple-lumen tube technique, the intestine was perfused with a plasma-like electrolyte solution while administering intravenous saline (control), VIP (400 pmol/kg/hr), somatostatin (5000 pmol/kg/hr), or VIP plus somatostatin. VIP infusion abolished water and electrolyte absorption and somatostatin had no effect on these VIP-induced transport changes regardless of whether somatostatin infusion was started before or after VIP infusion. Somatostatin infusion had no effect on VIP plasma concentration when elevated by intravenous VIP infusion (control: 10 +/- 1 pmol/l; during VIP infusion: 108 +/- 6). In a patient with pancreatic cholera syndrome identical perfusion experiments showed jejunal water secretion (93 ml/30 cm/hr) which changed to absorption (65 ml/30 cm/hr) when somatostatin was infused (5000 pmol/kg/hr). Plasma VIP concentration fell from 145 to 74 pmol/l (normal less than 50) during somatostatin infusion. Stool weight fell from 3722 g to 819 g per 24 hours when somatostatin was given at a dose of 2500 pmol/kg/hr for two days. Our observations in healthy subjects show that somatostatin has no effect on intestinal transport at the mucosal level when circulating VIP concentration is elevated.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
