In order to evaluate the enteropancreatic hormone axis in dogs with pancreatic acinar atrophy, we measured the release of gastric inhibitory polypeptide and pancreatic polypeptide in response to a standard meal and a meal containing pancreatic enzymes in affected dogs and controls. Postprandial release of pancreatic polypeptide was normal in dogs with pancreatic atrophy and was not affected by addition of pancreatic enzymes to the food. Gastric inhibitory polypeptide was not released after a standard meal in affected dogs, but this blunted response was corrected by the addition of pancreatic enzymes to the food. Feeding the enzyme alone did not stimulate a gastric inhibitory polypeptide response. These results, in part, support similar observations previously reported in children with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency associated with cystic fibrosis. We conclude that dogs with idiopathic pancreatic acinar atrophy can be used as an animal model for future study of enteropancreatic hormonal abnormalities that occur in human beings with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. |
