... secretion, and plasma pancreatic polypeptide levels, as an indirect measure of vagal-cholinergic tone, were determined at regular intervals. 2. In the basal period pancreatico-biliary secretion was significantly ( P < 0.05) reduced during hyperglycaemia compared with normoglycaemia. During normoglycaemia...

...H. Bryde Andersen; A. Raben; A. Astrup; N. Juel Christensen 1. Plasma pancreatic polypeptide, plasma catecholamine, blood glucose, plasma insulin and plasma peptide YY concentrations were studied to assess differences between eight formerly obese and eight never-obese control women during 25 min...

...Jens Kastrup; Jens H. Henrksen; Jesper Holst Pedersen; Jan Fahrenkrug; Ove B. Schaffalitzky de Muckadell; Thue Schwartz; Hans-Henrik Parving; Niels Juel Christensen 1. Plasma pancreatic polypeptide (PP), vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), substance P (SP), neurotensin (NT) and noradrenaline...

...B. P. McGrath; A. I. Stern; M. Esler; J. Hansky 1. Release of pancreatic polypeptide (PP) is largely under vagal control and measurement of change in PP after insulin hypoglycaemia offers a non-invasive method of assessing vagal activity. 2. Changes in blood sugar and PP after intravenous insulin...

... was in fact slightly increased during a prolonged (4 h) perfusion of the bile salt. 4. During bile salt perfusion, basal bicarbonate secretion remained unchanged but caerulein/secretin-stimulated bicarbonate secretion was slightly increased. 5. Plasma levels of pancreatic polypeptide, gastric inhibitory...
