Pancreatic polypeptide (PP) is a newly discovered hormonal peptide localised in a distinct endocrine cell type in the pancreas. PP circulates in plasma and in normal subjects levels rise substantially on the ingestion of food (mean rise 138 pmol/l). In 10 patients with chronic pancreatitis with exocrine deficiency the PP response to a test breakfast was greatly reduced (mean rise 20 pmol/l, P less than 0.001). PP response to the meal was normal in 10 patients with active coeliac disease and 12 patients with acute tropical sprue with steatorrhoea.
胰多肽(PP)是一种新发现的激素肽,定位于胰腺中一种独特的内分泌细胞类型。PP在血浆中循环,在正常受试者中,进食后其水平会大幅升高(平均升高138 pmol/l)。在10例患有外分泌功能不全的慢性胰腺炎患者中,PP对试验早餐的反应大大降低(平均升高20 pmol/l,P<0.001)。10例活动性乳糜泻患者和12例伴有脂肪泻的急性热带口炎性腹泻患者对餐食的PP反应正常。
