Kinin release after gastric surgery.

A Cuschieri, O A Onabanjo

    British Medical Journal
    |September 4, 1971
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Vasomotor dumping syndrome, a complication of gastric surgery, is linked to kininogen depletion and increased plasma kinin activity following carbohydrate meals. Control patients without dumping showed no significant changes, suggesting a role for kinins in this condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Physiology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Vasomotor dumping syndrome (VDS) is a common complication following gastric surgery.
    • The pathophysiology of VDS, particularly the role of vasoactive peptides, remains incompletely understood.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the involvement of the kinin system in the pathophysiology of VDS.
    • To compare kinin system activity in patients with VDS versus control subjects after a standardized meal challenge.

    Main Methods:

    • Kininogen and free plasma kinin activity were measured in six patients with VDS and six control subjects.
    • Measurements were taken before and after a 50-g carbohydrate meal challenge, which was known to precipitate VDS symptoms.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • All patients with VDS exhibited kininogen depletion.
    • Four out of six VDS patients showed increased free plasma kinin activity post-meal.
    • Control subjects demonstrated no significant changes in kininogen or kinin activity after the meal.

    Conclusions:

    • The kinin system, specifically kininogen depletion and increased kinin activity, appears to play a significant role in the manifestation of VDS.
    • These findings suggest that kinins may be key mediators in the vasomotor symptoms experienced by patients with VDS.
