We previously showed that the uptake of intact trypsin from the intestine of suckling animals was greater than that of weaned animals. To extend these studies, we measured plasma cationic immunoreactive-trypsin(ogen) in human subjects aged 3 days to 43 years. In agreement with the observation of other investigators, we found that the concentration of cationic immunoreactive-trypsin(ogen) was significantly increased in 3-day-old infants compared with other age groups. None of the cationic immunoreactive-trypsin in adult samples was bound to alpha 1-antitrypsin, whereas 28% of cationic immunoreactive-trypsin in infant samples was bound to alpha 1-anti-trypsin.
我们之前的研究表明,哺乳类动物肠道中完整胰蛋白酶的摄取量高于断奶动物。为拓展这些研究,我们测定了年龄在3天至43岁的人类受试者血浆中阳离子免疫反应性胰蛋白酶(原)的含量。与其他研究者的观察结果一致,我们发现,与其他年龄组相比,3日龄婴儿的阳离子免疫反应性胰蛋白酶(原)浓度显著升高。成人样本中,阳离子免疫反应性胰蛋白酶均未与α1抗胰蛋白酶结合,而婴儿样本中有28%的阳离子免疫反应性胰蛋白酶与α1抗胰蛋白酶结合。
