Tu1808 Duodenal Nutrient Sensitivity During Enteral Lipid and Carbohydrate Infusion in Functional Dyspepsia (FD): A Role for Enteral Hormones Adil E. Bharucha, Michael Camilleri, Alan R. Zinsmeister Background. Approximately 20% of patients with FD have rapid gastric emptying (RGE). Accelerated duodenal delivery of nutrients and/or increased duodenal sensitivity may explain GI symptoms in these patients. Indeed, FD patients report severe symptoms during duodenal lipid (LIP)) but not carbohydrate (CHO) infusion. The mechanisms of this increased sensitiv- ity are poorly understood. While enteral hormones are implicated, there is limited evidence, only for CCK, based on a study of 8 functional dyspepsia patients and 8 controls (Pilichiewicz 2008). Hypotheses. Patients with FD have increased nutrient sensitivity and concentrations of plasma enteral hormones mediating satiety during duodenal enteral lipid or CHO infusion. Methods. Enteral hormonal responses during duodenal nutrient infusion were compared in 35 healthy subjects (41 ± 3 years, 24 females, BMI 26.4 ± 0.7 kg/m2) and 30 FD patients (40 ± 3 years, 26 female, BMI 26.4 ± 0.7 kg/m2) with previously documented idiopathic RGE for solids. Isocaloric (222 kcal) and isovolumic (222 mL) carbohydrate (CHO, Limeon- dex®, 75 gm) and lipid infusions (Microlipid® 66.7 mL diluted to 222 mL, 0.5 gm/mL) were administered in randomized order over 120 minutes separated by a 120 minute washout period. These nutrients were given at a variable rate, approximating that at which oral glucose enters the systemic circulation in healthy subjects. During infusions, symptoms were evaluated by a VAS scale (0=none, 1=light, 2=moderate, 3=severe, 4=intolerable). Associations between plasma hormones (AUC) and subject status (ie, control vs functional dyspepsia) and separately with any moderate symptoms or worse were evaluated by univariate tests. Results. 30 controls and 24 pts completed studies. During lipid (6 controls, 14 pts) and carbohydrate infusion (1 control, 14 pts) the presence of one or more symptoms of at least moderate severity was more common (p 0.01) in patients than controls. Compared to subjects with mild or no symptoms, a higher proportion of subjects with moderate or more severe symptoms had abnormal (ie, >90th %tile values in controls) plasma hormone concentrations during the corresponding nutrient infusion ie (a) higher GLP-1 (p = 0.005) concentration during CHO infusion and (b) higher GIP (p = 0.01) and CCK (p=0.03) concentration during lipid infusion. Other hormones (PYY, ghrelin, glucagon, and insulin) were not associated with increased sensitivity. Conclusions. During enteral carbohydrate or lipid infusions, patients with FD and RGE have increased symptoms which is associated with higher plasma concentrations of GLP-1 during carbohydrate as also CCK and GIP concentrations during lipid infusion compared to controls. These data suggest that among patients with FD, enteral hormones mediate exaggerated increased intestinal sensitivity to nutrients in a nutrient-specific manner.

We aimed to investigate if such mechanisms could be related to activation of afferent neural pathways in the rat. Methods: Male Sprague- Dawley rats (8-9 wo) were subjected to laparotomy plus intestinal manipulation (IM, N= 12) or only laparotomy (SHAM, N=8). Intestinal manipulation was performed by touching distal jejunum, ileum, caecum and proximal colon with cotton swabs under sterile surgical conditions. 20 min later, peritoneal lavage was collected for the assessment of levels of rat mast cell protease 6 (RMCP-6). In vivo intestinal transit and gastric emptying and inflammation of ileum wall (PCR; IL-6, IL-10) were evaluated at 24h. Toraco-lumbar (T10-L2) dorsal root ganglia (DRG) were collected and used for the assessment of CGRP, CGRP receptor, SP, PAR-2, NGF, TrkA and TRPV-1 expression (PCR). In another study, following laparotomy, ileum was incubated with either Compound 48/80 (0.6mg/ml, N=6) or saline (control group, N=6) for 1min. At 3 hours, peritoneal RMCP-6, gastrointestinal transit, intestinal inflammation and activation of DRG were also evaluated. Results: Upon intestinal manipula- tion, absorbance for RMCP-6 in peritoneal fluid increased (0.35 ± 0.02 vs 0.27 ± 0.01 in SHAM group, P<0.05). Furthermore, intestinal manipulation delayed intestinal transit (GC IM: 3.98 ± 0.29 vs GC SHAM: 6.20 ± 0.33, P<0.0001) but did not alter gastric emptying (GE IM: 65.30 ± 8.05 % vs GE SHAM: 84.07 ± 8.20 %, P=0.07) at 24 h and induced up- regulation of IL-6 and IL-10 mRNA expression by 4.72 and 3.34 folds respectively (P<0.05) in the intestinal wall. Likewise expression of CGRP, PAR-2 and TrkA in DRG were increased in manipulated rats by 1.41, 1.29 and 1.21 folds respectively (P<0.05). Compound 48/80 decreased absorbance for peritoneal RMCP-6 (0.14 ± 0.01 vs 0.20 ± 0.02 in control group, P<0.05), evoked delayed intestinal transit and gastric emptying (GC C48/80: 3.99 ± 0.32 vs GC CONTROL: 5.16 ± 0.29, P<0.05 and GE C48/80: 44.34 ± 9.09% vs GE CONTROL: 78.12 ± 5.89%, P<0.01) and also increased expression of IL-6 (2.20± 0.45 vs 1.03±0.10 fold change in control group, P<0.05). Nevertheless, there were no differences in the expression of CGRP, CGRP receptor, NGF, TrkA, PAR-2, TRPV-1 in DRG (P<0.05) after incubation with C48/80. Conclusions: Our results show that intestinal manipulation is followed by activation of peritoneal mast cells and splanchnic afferents as demonstrated by the activation of toraco-lumbar DRG. The mast cell degranulator C48/80 reduced intestinal motility and induced inflammation resembling the effects of intestinal manipulation. None- theless it failed to activate DRG indicating that intestinal manipulation involves multifactorial mechanisms leading to afferent activation. Tu1810 Vesopressin-Induced Nausea and Vomiting Present With Distinct Gastric Motility Patterns in Dogs Yan Sun, Geng-Qing Song, Yang Bin, Xiaohua Hou, Richard W. McCallum Background: The correlation among gastrointestinal symptoms (such as nausea and vomit- ing), gastric motility, gastric myoelectrical activity (GMA) is poorly understood. Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the association of gastric motility (postprandial antral contractions and gastric emptying of liquids) and GMA with vomiting induced by vasopressin. Methods: 14 female beagle dogs with either a gastric (for measuring antral contractions (AC)) or duodenal cannula (for recording gastric emptying of liquids (GE)) and 4 pairs of gastric serosa electrodes for gastric slow waves recording were studied. The protocol included 2 experiments (AC and GE), each consisting of two sessions (saline and vasopressin). Each session was conducted sequentially as follows: 30-min baseline, ingestion of a liquid meal (for GE) or a solid meal (for AC), 30-min intravenous infusion of vasopressin (0.75 U/kg, in 30 ml of 154 mmol NaCl, 1ml/min) or saline (30 ml of 154 mmol NaCl, 1ml/min), and two 30-min postprandial recordings. Emetic symptoms and GMA were recorded in each session. Antral contractions were measured by a water perfused manometry system. Gastric emptying contents were collected every 15 min via the cannula for a period of 90 min. Results: Vasopressin induced episodes of nausea and vomiting in all animals. 1) When vomiting occurred, it was accompanied by increased amplitude of antral contractions and the propagation of the contraction wave was completely uncoupled. the major contraction pattern was hypo-motility during the remaining time period of 30-min infusion of vasopressin (4.6 ± 0.8, P < 0.01 vs. the corresponding period in saline control (7.5 ± 1.3)). 2) During infusion of vasopressin, the pattern of dysrhythmia immediately before vomiting was tachyar- rhythmia and the gastric slow wave was completely uncoupled before and after vomiting. However, the pattern returned quickly to brandygastria which was the main dysrhythmia overall during the 30-min infusion of vasopressin (59.7 % ± 6.3 %, P < 0.01 vs. the corresponding period in saline control (2.5 ± 1.1 %)).
