We determined if changes in the irregular motor activity of phase II, the dominant motility phase in awake fasting humans, are associated with fluctuations in pancreatic secretion by intubating the upper gastrointestinal tract of 15 healthy humans and recording antral and duodenal motility and obtaining duodenal samples for one or two interdigestive motility cycles. Antral phase II activity was graded as having low, intermediate, or high frequency of contractions and related to duodenal trypsin output and plasma concentrations of motilin and human pancreatic polypeptide (HPP), a marker of vagal cholinergic tone. Low, intermediate, and high phase II motor activities were significantly associated with trypsin outputs (U/10 min; mean +/- SE) of 576 +/- 137, 1,441 +/- 225, and 3,621 +/- 521, respectively (P less than 0.001). Plasma motilin levels did not vary with the grades of phase II motility (P greater than 0.1), but levels of plasma HPP and the grades of phase II motility were positively correlated (P less than 0.001). The close correlation among motility, pancreatic secretion, and plasma HPP during phase II suggests that vagal cholinergic pathways are involved in the common regulatory mechanism controlling phase II interdigestive motility and pancreatic secretion.
