Abstract:
Five dogs prepared with Heidenhain pouches received infusions of saline, GIP and VIP before and after a standard meat meal. Blood samples were obtained under basal conditions and at subsequent intervals for measurement of gastrin, insulin, GIP and VIP by radioimmunoassay. GIP and VIP infusions had no effect on basal levels of gastrin. GIP and VIP (in common with secretin and glucagon) were found to suppress food-stimulated release of gastrin and gastrin-stimulated acid secretion from the Heidenhain pouch. Insulin levels were significantly elevated during GIP and VIP infusions. Food released GIP (and perhaps VIP.
