Summary

The effect of administration of synthetic caerulein on canine plasma somatostatin concentration in the portal vein was investigated using specific radioimmunoassay of acid-acetone extracted plasma. Gel chromatography revealed that the main component of the plasma somatostatin in the portal vein was identical with somatostatin-14. After administration of caerulein (5ng/kg), the somatostatin level increased significantly while the gastrin level remained unchanged. These results suggested that caerulein affects D cell function but not gastrin secretion.
