Rats fed raw soy flour (RSF) show pancreatic growth due to excessive cholecystokinin (CCK) release. Soybean trypsin inhibitors are implicated, but rats fed soybean lectin also showed pancreatic growth. Therefore, we studied the effect of soybean lectin on pancreatic protein secretion in anesthetized rats. Intraduodenal administration of 30 mg of RSF stimulated a 1-h integrated rise in pancreatic protein output of 2.2 +/- 1.1 mg/h (mean +/- SE) in rats with bile pancreatic (BP) juice returned to the duodenum. Selective removal of the lectin by affinity to N-acetyl-D-galactosamineagarose abolished the response (-0.1 +/- 0.2 mg/h). Adding back the 84 micrograms of lectin restored the output of 2.2 +/- 0.9 mg/h. With BP juice returned to the duodenum, 84 micrograms of lectin required the added presence of protein and protease inhibitors to have this effect. However, when BP juice was not returned, 84 micrograms of lectin given alone produced a pancreatic response of 3.2 +/- 1.3 mg/h. Plasma CCK concentrations rose significantly from 6.6 +/- 1.9 to 14.3 +/- 2.9 pmol/l, and the pancreatic response was abolished by CCK-A receptor blockade (0.0 +/- 0.1 mg/h). We conclude that soybean lectin plays a major role in the acute stimulation of pancreatic protein secretion by RSF. The lectin releases CCK and the effect is mediated by CCK-A receptors.
