Effects of cisapride on gall bladder emptying, intestinal transit, and serum deoxycholate: a prospective, randomised, double blind, placebo controlled trial

Abstract: Background-Octreotide inhibits gall bladder emptying and prolongs intestinal transit. This leads to increases in the proportion of deoxycholic acid in, and cholesterol saturation of, gall bladder bile, factors that contribute to the pathogenesis of octreotide induced gall stones. Aims-To see if an intestinal prokinetic, cisapride, could overcome these adverse eVects of octreotide and if so, be considered as a candidate prophylactic drug for preventing iatrogenic gall bladder stones. Methods-A randomised, doubl… Show more

“…For this reason, we chose not to test other motility agonists, such as acetylcholine (Price et al 1969), since our results could be fully explained by CCK antagonism; moreover, a different ex vivo experimental set‐up would have been required. Nonetheless, as highlighted earlier, pro‐kinetic agents, including cisapride in humans (Veysey et al 2001) and erythromycin in ground squirrels (Xu et al 1998), reverse presumed cholesterol‐induced small intestinal hypomotility under these lithogenic conditions, indicating that other pro‐motility agents clearly function by CCK‐1R‐independent pathways.…”

“…To test the substrate-enzyme hypothesis (by studying the relationship between CA concentration and 7α-DH in the caecum), we were relying on spontaneous variations in caecal CA concentration, rather than on pharmacological manoeuvres designed to perturb the balance between CA and DCA by using broad spectrum antibiotics,8 29 drugs that increase or decrease the rates of transit through the intestine,30 31 or regimens that change intracolonic pH, such as oral lactulose 3233 Instead, we relied on spontaneous variations in “endogenous” caecal CA concentrations which, in the event, ranged from 0.14 to 1.65 μmol/ml although the explanation for this scatter in results is unknown.…”
