The hypothesis
that dietary proteins or their hydrolysates may regulate intestinal
mucin discharge was investigated in the isolated vascularly perfused
rat jejunum using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for rat
intestinal mucins. On luminal administration, casein hydrolysate
[0.05-5% (wt/vol)] stimulated mucin secretion in rat jejunum
(maximal response at 417% of controls). Lactalbumin hydrolysate (5%)
also evoked mucin discharge. In contrast, casein, and a mixture of
amino acids was without effect. Chicken egg albumin and its hydrolysate
or meat hydrolysate also did not modify mucin release. Interestingly,
casein hydrolysate-induced mucin secretion was abolished by
intra-arterial TTX or naloxone (an opioid antagonist).
-Casomorphin-7, an opioid peptide released from
-casein on milk ingestion, induced a strong mucin secretion (response at 563% of
controls) that was inhibited by naloxone. Intra-arterial
-casomorphin-7 also markedly increased mucin secretion (410% of
controls). In conclusion, two enzymatic milk protein hydrolysates
(casein and lactalbumin hydrolysates) and
-casomorphin-7,
specifically, induced mucin release in rat jejunum. The casein
hydrolysate-induced mucin secretion is triggered by a neural pathway
and mediated by opioid receptor activation.
