Summary
Influence of alcohol administration on the trophic effect of choiecystokinin-octapeptide and soybean trypsin inhibitor administration was examined in male Wistar rats. Two x 4 mL of 20% alcohol given intragastrically during 2 wk did not significantly influence pancreatic weight, DNA, protein, trypsin, chymotrypsin, amylase, lipase, or trypsin inhibitor contents of the pancreas. It diminished the hypertrophy but not the hyperplasia seen after CCK-8 treatment, and eliminated the hyperplasia, as well as the hypertrophy provoked by SBTI administration. Secretory studies and CCK measurements demonstrated decreased CCK release in response to SBTI stimulation after 3-d alcohol administration. The results indicate that alcohol inhibits the enzyme synthesis of the CCK stimulated dividing and/or newly formed acinar cells and the endogenous CCK release.
