An in situ dual vascular and luminal perfusion technique was used to study the effect of cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) on the transport of hexoses by the jejunum of the Sprague-Dawley rat from the lumen to the vascular bed. The lumen of the jejunum was perfused with hexoses in oxygenated Krebs buffer, while the superior mesenteric artery was infused with Krebs buffer containing Ficoll 70 as a plasma expander. CCK-8 (0.8-8 pM) in the vascular infusate selectively reduced hexose transport in a dose-dependent manner by 20-47%, although having no effect on L-glucose or L-leucine absorption. Vascular tetrodotoxin did not block CCK-8 inhibition, whereas a specific CCK-A receptor antagonist, lorglumide, did. The CCK-B receptor agonist cholecystokinin tetrapeptide had a small effect on hexose absorption, whereas somatostatin-14 and -28 had no effect. These results suggest that cholecystokinin can decrease intestinal absorption of hexoses in the small intestine, acting via CCK-A-type receptors.
