Treatment of Pain in Chronic Pancreatitis with Pancreatic Enzymes: Another Point of View

  • Conference paper

Abstract

Regulation of pancreatic enzyme secretion by the presence of pancreatic proteases in the duodenum via a negative feedback has been demonstrated in numerous studies in animals such as rats (Green and Lyman 1972; Ihse et al. 1979; Louie et al. 1986; Rausch et al. 1987; Shiratori et al. 1986), chicken (Chernick et al. 1948), and pig (Corring 1973). In rats this negative feedback control is mediated via cholecystokinin (CCK) (Louie et al. 1986; Fölsch et al. 1987; Lee et al. 1986). CCK is probably released by protease-sensitive proteins either from duodenal mucosa or pancreatic juice (Fukuoka et al. 1986; Lu et al. 1989). The findings in humans are controversial. Some groups have reported feedback inhibition of human pancreatic secretion by trypsin (Dlugosz et al. 1988; Ihse et al. 1977; Liener et al. 1988; Slaff et al. 1984) and mediation via CCK (Owyang et al. 1986a,b).
