Gastric and pancreatic hyposecretion following massive small-bowel resection

Dig Dis Sci. 1982 Feb;27(2):117-23. doi: 10.1007/BF01311704.

Abstract

It is well established that massive small-bowel resection (MSBR) invariably causes hypersecretion of acid in animals with denervated gastric pouches. The effect of MSBR on the secretory responses of both the totally innervated stomach and pancreas have been less well studied. Eighteen adult mongrel dogs were prepared with chronic gastric and pancreatic fistulae. In eight, massive small-bowel resection was performed in addition. Bowel resection did not alter the responses to graded doses of pentagastrin. However, in response to the intragastric titration of a liver extract meal, it had the following effects: (1) profound gastric acid hyposecretion; (2) reduction in pancreatic bicarbonate and protein secretion; and (3) increase in basal and meal-stimulated serum glucagon levels. Hypergastrinemia did not occur after resection. The hyposecretory responses may represent either increased inhibition or decreased secretory stimulation.
