AbstractThe secretory function of the exocrine pancreas has been studied in dispersed pancreatic acini from obese and homozygous lean Zucker rats at 6 and 22 wk. No abnormality was found in acini from young rats. Acini from 22 wk obese and lean rats were equally responsive to secretagogues which stimulate cAMP, i.e. vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and secretin. By contrast, there was a reduction in the maximum responsiveness to caerulein and carbamylcholine in acini from obese rats. These latter secretagogues act through mobilization of intracellular Ca 2+. Since obese animals are insulin resistant and amylase release is modulated by insulin, the role of insulin resistance in the secretory defect was then investigated. A group of 22 wk obese rats received treatment with Ciglitazone (a drug which reduces insulin resistance in obese laboratory animals) for 4 wk before the secretion study. Despite the expected reduction in insulin resistance there was no improvement of the secretory defect seen with caerulein and carbamylcholine stimulation. Thus, the secretory abnormality in the exocrine pancreas of adult obese Zucker rats does not appear to be directly associated with insulin resistance. Furthermore, the secretory defect is linked to those secretagogues which induce Ca 2+-independent phosphoinositide hydrolysis and Ca 2+ mobilization in the target cell.
