Serum gastrin and pepsinogen in shift workers.

B Tarquini, M Cecchettin, A Cariddi

    International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health
    |January 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Shift work (SW) significantly alters the gastrin/acidopepsin secretion system. This study investigates the impact of SW on gastrointestinal function markers in male foundry workers.

    Area of Science:

    • Occupational Health
    • Gastroenterology
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Gastrointestinal complaints, including peptic ulcer disease, are anecdotally linked to shift work (SW).
    • The specific impact of SW on gastric function markers like gastrin (G) and pepsinogen (PG1) remains unclear in scientific literature.
    • Gastrin and pepsinogen are key indicators of gastric acid secretion and digestive function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effects of a rotating weekly shift work schedule on serum gastrin and pepsinogen I levels.
    • To explore the association between shift work and alterations in the gastrin/acidopepsin secretion system.

    Main Methods:

    • Studied five male foundry shift workers on a rotating weekly schedule (four different shifts).
    • Included six male day-working controls.
    • Measured serum gastrin (G) and group I pepsinogen (PG1) using radioimmunoassay (RIA) kits at the start and end of each weekly shift.

    Main Results:

    • Shift work induced significant changes in the gastrin and acidopepsin secretion system.
    • Observed prominent alterations in serum G and PG1 levels correlating with the shift work schedule.

    Conclusions:

    • Shift work demonstrably impacts the physiological regulation of gastric function.
    • Findings suggest a link between shift work and potential alterations in gastrointestinal health, warranting further investigation.
