In two previous studies, postprandial pancreatic polypeptide (PP) release was inhibited when pancreatic denervation was combined with distal pancreatectomy. In contrast, postprandial PP release was unaffected by pancreatic denervation without a distal pancreatectomy. These findings suggested a role for the distal pancreas in regulation of postprandial PP release. To examine this possibility, we performed distal pancreatectomy on four mongrel dogs. Pancreatic polypeptide response to i.v. insulin (0.5 U/kg), a meal, and an infusion of cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8; 50 ng/kg/h) were measured in conscious dogs before and after distal pancreatectomy. Insulin-induced hypoglycemia stimulated PP release both preoperatively (47.0 +/- 8.8 ng.[0-120]min/ml) and postoperatively (61.6 +/- 9.2 ng.[0-120]min/ml). Ingestion of a meal also evoked significant PP release preoperatively (85.8 +/- 22.1 ng.[0-180]min/ml) and postoperatively (105.8 +/- 42.2 ng.[0-180]min/ml). CCK-8 elicited only a small increase in circulating PP, which was not influenced by distal pancreatectomy. These findings demonstrate that distal pancreatectomy does not alter PP response to insulin, a meal, or CCK-8.
