The ileal brake--inhibition of jejunal motility after ileal fat perfusion in man.

Abstract: SUMMARY The possibility that malabsorbed fat passing through the human ileum exerts an inhibitory feedback control on jejunal motility has been investigated in 24 normal subjects by perfusing the ileum with a fat containing solution designed to produce ileal luminal fat concentrations similar to those in steatorrhoea (30-40 mg/ml). Mean transit times through a 30 cm saline perfused jejunal segment were measured by a dye dilution technique. Thirty minutes after ileal fat perfusion, mean transit times rose marke… Show more

“…Nutrients administered into the ileum inhibit gastric emptying, 6 slow intestinal motility and transit, 7,21 decrease exocrine pancreatic secretion 9 and reduce food intake. 8 These effects have been attributed to the activation of the ileal brake mechanism.…”

“…Beal infusion of triglyceride emulsions delay gastric emptying and small bowel transit in human volunteers (Spiller et al, 1984;Read et al, 1984) and stomach to caecum transit time in rats (Brown et al, 1987). The mechanism by which this effect occurs remains largely unknown.…”

“…The mechanism by which this effect occurs remains largely unknown. Spiller and colleagues showed that in normal volunteers the inhibition of small bowel motor activity induced by infusion of fatty acids into the small intestine, 170cm from the teeth was associated with elevation of the gastrointestinal peptides neurotensin and enteroglucagon (Spiller et al, 1984). However, data from our laboratory showed that the ileal infusion (205 cm) of Intralipid did not result in increased plasma levels of neurotensin and enteroglucagon, but jejunal infusion of Intralipid caused an increase in plasma levels of both hormones without delaying small bowel transit .…”

“…The presence of these nutrients in the ileum decreases gastrointestinal motility, gastric emptying, the speed of transit from the mouth to the cecum and consequently food intake, known as ileal brake mechanism 30 . This neural mechanism would be mediated by hormones produced in the ileum as the PYY and GLP-1 7,19,26 .…”
