Effect of food on serum gastrin evaluated by radioimmunoassay

Abstract: SUMMARY The effect of food on serum gastrin in normal man has been evaluated by radioimmunoassay. Protein and amino acids produced up to a five-fold increase in serum gastrin levels, followed in potency by alcohol, fat, and glucose. Distilled water did not stimulate the release of gastrin. An injection of atropine sulphate (0.6 mg) augmented the response to all good stimuli but in itself did not affect serum gastrin levels in the basal state.In animals the release of gastrin in response to feeding involves bot… Show more

“…On the other hand, some investigators (29-32) have used rats under total parental nutrition to examine the effect of the absence of food in the gut on functional and structural parameters of the gastrointestinal tract, and have demonstrated that the physiological response related to food ingestion, the trophic action of gastrin, was necessary for maintenance of the structural integrity of the gastrointestinal tract. KOMAN et al (33) indicated that dietary protein and amino acids produced significant increases in serum gastrin levels, followed in potency by alcohol, fat and glucose. Therefore, increases in the segmental weights of the small intestine and its mucosa occurring due to the supplementation of methionine or methionine plus threonine to the protein-free diet or to the low casein diet might be mediated by an increased release of gastrin.…”

“…INTRODUCTION A considerable amount of evidence has accumulated in support of the concept that stimulation of the vagus nerves causes release of gastrin from the pyloric antrum (Burstall & Schofield, 1953;Pe Thein & Schofield, 1959;Emas & Fyro, 1965). In addition, increased circulating gastrin and increased gastric acid output in the dog have been reported in response to electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve (Lanciault, Bonoma & Brooks, 1971), during insulin hypoglycaemia (Jaffe, McGuigan & Newton, 1970;Korman, Soveny & Hansky, 1 971) and after sham feeding (Nilsson, Simon, Yalow & Berson, 1972).…”

“…There was a higher increase in serum gastrin in duodenal ulcer after protein meals in previous reports (Korman et al 1971a;Stern and Walsh 1973). Creutzfeldt et al (1976) showed that the antral gastrin concentration of duodenal ulcer was significantly higher than that of control subjects, and that ultrastructurally G cells in the duodenal ulcer had many empty secretory granules suggesting higher functional activity.…”
