  1. 01HumanNon-randomized trialMechanism

    In long-term octreotide-treated acromegaly, an octreotide injection completely suppressed postprandial gallbladder contraction versus placebo.

    In plain wordsIn acromegaly patients receiving long-term octreotide, an injection blocked gallbladder contraction after food versus placebo.

    Summary
    SMS completely suppressed the postprandial gallbladder contraction, despite a blunted, though still statistically significant, increase in plasma CCK from 1.6 +/- 0.2 pmol/L to an average of 3.7 +/- 1.7 pmol/L (P less than 0.01).

    Summary · context
    The effects on gallbladder motility of long term treatment with the somatostatin analog SMS 201-995 (SMS) were studied in five patients with acromegaly treated for 6-32 months with 200-300 micrograms SMS daily.
    Summary · context
    SMS (100 micrograms) or placebo was injected sc 45 min before a standard breakfast.
  2. 02HumanNon-randomized trialMechanism

    In octreotide-treated acromegaly, the postprandial CCK rise was blunted versus placebo, although CCK increased from 1.6 +/- 0.2 to 3.7 +/- 1.7 pmol/L (P less than 0.01).

    In plain wordsIn acromegaly patients, octreotide blunted CCK release after food versus placebo, although CCK still increased.

  3. 03HumanNon-randomized trialMechanism

    In long-term octreotide-treated acromegaly, the postprandial pancreatic polypeptide peak with placebo became a slight decrease with octreotide (P less than 0.05).

    In plain wordsIn acromegaly, octreotide changed the pancreatic polypeptide rise after food with placebo to a slight fall.

  4. 04HumanObservational studyMechanism

    In long-term octreotide-treated acromegaly, CCK correlated significantly with gallbladder volume after placebo but not after octreotide.

    Summary
    A statistically significant correlation between the plasma CCK values and corresponding gallbladder volumes was seen only after placebo injection, not in the SMS study.
