    Abstract:
    A predominance of the pancreatic cholecystokinin (CCK) receptor of the B/gastrin subtype (CCK-B/G) was reported in calves older than 1 month. Specific CCK-A and CCK-B/G receptor antagonists (SR 27897 and PD 135158, respectively) were used to identify the CCK receptor subtype involved in exogenous CCK- and gastrin-induced exocrine pancreatic responses. Conscious calves (2 months old) with catheterized pancreas, jugular vein and duodenum were used; the pancreatic juice was continuously reinfused. CCK (30 pmol kg-1 min-1, 40 min) evoked an increase in pancreatic juice flow and enzyme secretion, while the same dose of gastrin increased enzyme secretion alone. CCK-induced pancreatic secretion was abolished by SR 27897 (15 nmol kg-1 min-1, 55 min) and reduced by PD 135158 (0.15 nmol kg-1 min-1, 55 min). Gastrin-induced enzyme secretion was reduced by PD 135158 (50% to 90%) and to a lesser extent by SR 27897 (50% to 60%). These results demonstrate that CCK and gastrin in the physiological range stimulate pancreatic exocrine secretion in calves and that these effects are partly mediated by CCK-B/G receptors. Although CCK-A receptors are not predominantly expressed, they seem to play a major role in the response of pancreatic exocrine secretion to CCK.
