    Abstract:
    The effects of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), somatostatin (SRIF), neurotensin (NT), cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8), and secretin (SEC) on the intestinal absorption of amino acid were investigated. Six groups of Wistar rats were studied: (1) controls; (2) VIP treated; (3) SRIF treated; (4) NT treated; (5) CCK-8 treated; (6) SEC treated. [3H]Leucine was given intraluminally through a cannula at the ligament of Treitz, a number of blood samples were obtained through a superior mesenteric vein catheter 1-60 min after administration of [3H]leucine, and the radioactivity of plasma was measured to evaluate the absorption of [3H]leucine. It was shown that VIP and SRIF significantly inhibited the absorption of [3H]leucine (by 59.1% and 38.7%, respectively), whereas NT, CCK-8, and SEC significantly enhanced absorption (by 44.2%, 49.6%, and 39.1%, respectively). Radioimmunoassays of VIP, SRIF, and NT showed that at least some of the hormones or peptides exerted their effects on absorption of leucine at or near their physiological concentrations.
