Pancreatic bicarbonate response to HCl before and after cutting the extrinsic nerves of the pancreas in dogs

In two sets of dogs with gastric and pancreatic fistulas, we studied the effect of atropine on pancreatic bicarbonate output and release of secretin in response to intraduodenal HCl before and after stepwise removal of the extrinsic nerves of the pancreas, i.e., celiac and superior mesenteric ganglionectomy alone or truncal vagotomy alone and truncal vagotomy plus celiac and superior mesenteric ganglionectomy. Ganglionectomy alone did not alter the incremental bicarbonate response to HCl. Truncal vagotomy alone significantly (P less than 0.05) decreased the incremental bicarbonate response to low (1.5 and 3 mmol/h) but not high (6 to 24 mmol/h) loads of HCl. Additional ganglionectomy restored the bicarbonate response to prevagotomy levels. With the extrinsic nerves intact and after ganglionectomy, but not after truncal vagotomy and truncal vagotomy plus ganglionectomy, intravenous atropine (14 nmol.kg-1.h-1) significantly reduced the incremental bicarbonate response to low (1.5 and 3 mmol/h) but not high loads of HCl. Neither the different surgical procedures nor atropine significantly altered plasma levels of secretin basally and in response to intestinal HCl. We conclude that 1) cholinergic fibers within the vagus nerves but not the splanchnic nerves are important mediators of the pancreatic bicarbonate response to low loads of HCl and 2) release of secretin by intestinal HCl is not under cholinergic and splanchnic control.
