Studies were performed to determine whether the cyclic hexapeptide analog of somatostatin, cyclo(N-Me-Ala-Tyr-D-Trp-Lys-Val-Phe) II, could alter circulating levels of neurotensin (NT) and inhibit the release of NT from small intestine following the intraluminal perfusion of lipid and ETOH. The small intestine of anesthetized rats was perfused with 0.9% NaCl, 1mM ETOH, 100 mM ETOH or 1 mM oleic acid with and without the intravenous infusion of the somatostatin analog. Plasma samples collected from the superior mesenteric vein were extracted, chromatographed on HPLC and assayed with both C-terminal and N-terminal antisera to NT. The basal circulating levels of chromatographically and immunochemically identified NT observed during the perfusion of the small intestine with 0.9% NaCl were significantly lower (p less than 0.01) during the IV infusion of the somatostatin analog as compared to animals infused IV with saline. The 2-3 fold increase in plasma levels of NT observed with the intestinal perfusion of oleic acid and ETOH did not occur in animals simultaneously infused IV with the somatostatin analog. The somatostatin analog was also effective in decreasing the basal levels of NT metabolite NT(1-8) as well as inhibiting the increase in this metabolite that accompanies the stimulated release of NT.
