cholecystokinin; glucagon-like peptide-1
Although ingestion of a meal is known to trigger a rise in blood concentrations of CCK and GLP-1 within
15 min (20, 23), there is little information relating to any possible interaction in the effects of these two hormones (14). This knowledge is potentially important for an understanding of the mechanisms underlying food intake regulation, with evidence that the development of obesity is associated with different patterns of gastrointestinal hormone release (32, 43). A number of studies have investigated possible interactions between other gastrointestinal stimuli (6, 12, 15, 21). For example, gastric distension and CCK may have synergistic (i.e., the combined effect of the two stimuli is greater than the sum of their individual effects), rather than additive (i.e., the combined effect of the two stimuli equals the sum of their individual effects), effects (21). In a previous study the combination of gastric distension (with 300 ml water) and intravenous CCK-8 [dose: 112 ng/ml (
102 pmol/min) for 23 min] reduced food intake (in g) in healthy male and female subjects much more (by 200 g) than either CCK-8 (96 g) or distension (3 g) alone (21). Observations derived from a recent study in our laboratory (8) are consistent with the concept of an interaction in the effects of CCK and GLP-1. This study investigated the effects of duodenal infusion of decanoic acid, a fatty acid with 10 carbon atoms (C10), and lauric acid, a fatty acid with 12 carbon atoms (C12), on appetite, antropyloroduodenal (APD) motility, and CCK and GLP-1 release in healthy subjects. C12 was shown to decrease energy intake and increase pyloric pressures compared with both C10 and control. C10 and C12 also differed in their effects on CCK and GLP-1 release in that C12 increased plasma CCK and GLP-1, whereas C10 increased plasma CCK, albeit to a lesser extent than C12, and had no effect on GLP-1. It is, therefore, plausible that the combined actions of CCK and GLP-1 (possibly with other gut peptides) were responsible for the more potent effects of C12 on appetite and APD motility.
A study investigating the effects of intravenous CCK-33 and GLP-1, alone and in combination, on energy intake and appetite has recently been published (14). In this study, intravenous infusion of both CCK-33 and GLP-1 resulted in a nonsignificant decrease in the perception of hunger before a meal. In contrast, when CCK-33 and GLP-1 were infused together, there was a reduction in hunger compared with CCK-33 or GLP-1 alone. However, surprisingly, the combination of CCK-33 and GLP-1 did not reduce energy intake any more than either CCK-33 or GLP-1 alone, rather, the effect was infra-additive. There is currently no information about the effects of the combination of CCK and GLP-1 on APD motility.
The aims of the current study were therefore to determine the effects of intravenous CCK-8 and GLP-1, given alone or in combination, on appetite, energy intake, and APD motility in healthy male subjects. We evaluated the hypothesis that intravenous infusions of CCK and GLP-1 would have synergistic effects on these parameters, specifically that the suppression of appetite and energy intake and modulation of APD motility would be greater when the two peptides are administered together compared with alone.

Nine healthy male subjects, aged 22 ± 1 yr (range 1827 yr), were recruited according to guidelines established by the Royal Adelaide Hospital Human Ethics Committee. The number of subjects was based on power calculations derived from our previous studies (7, 26). All subjects were required to be of normal body weight for their height (body mass index 23 ± 0.5 kg/m2, range 2025.2 kg/m2; body weight 75 ± 0.2 kg, range 81.563.5 kg) and unrestrained eaters [score
12 on the eating restraint component of the Three Factor Eating questionnaire (40)]. The following exclusion criteria also applied: 1) significant gastrointestinal disease, symptoms, or surgery; 2) current use of medication known to affect gastrointestinal function, appetite, or body weight; 3) significant cardiovascular or respiratory disease; 4) allergy to local anesthetic; 5) cigarette smoking or an alcohol intake in excess of 20 g/day; 6) abnormal liver function by routine biochemistry tests. The Royal Adelaide Hospital Research Ethics Committee approved the study protocol, and all subjects provided written informed consent before their inclusion.
Protocol
Each subject attended the laboratory on four occasions, each separated by 310 days, where they received, in randomized, double-blind fashion, intravenous infusions of 1) isotonic saline (control), 2) CCK-8 at 1.8 pmol·kg1·min1 (2 ng·kg1·min1), 3) GLP-1 at 0.9 pmol·kg1·min1 (both from Merck Biosciences, Läufelfingen, Switzerland), or 4) both 1.8 pmol·kg1·min1 CCK-8 and 0.9 pmol·kg1·min1 GLP-1 (CCK-8+GLP-1). The peptides were dissolved in 0.9% sterile saline. The doses of CCK-8 and GLP-1 were selected on the basis of previous studies that indicated that they had submaximal effects on gastric emptying, energy intake, and APD pressures, while resulting in physiological plasma concentrations (26, 29, 34, 38). In all studies, appetite, energy intake, and APD motility were evaluated.
Subjects attended the laboratory at 0830 after fasting from solid and liquid food from 2200 h the previous night. A 16-channel manometric catheter (Dentsleeve; Adelaide, Australia), to measure pressures in the APD region, was inserted through an anesthetized nostril and allowed to pass through the pylorus into the duodenum by peristalsis (4). The catheter was positioned with six side holes in the antrum (channels 16), a 4.5-cm sleeve sensor (channel 7) with two side holes on the back of the sleeve (channels 8 and 9) across the pylorus, and 7 side holes in the duodenum (channels 1016). The distance between side holes was 1.5 cm. The position of the catheter was maintained by measurement of the transmucosal potential difference (TMPD) between the most distal antral (channel 6, approximately 40 mV) and the most proximal duodenal (channel 10,
0 mV) channel (17) with a cannula filled with sterile saline and placed subcutaneously in the left forearm as a reference electrode. All channels were perfused with degassed, distilled water at 0.15 ml/min, with the exception of the two TMPD channels, which were perfused with degassed 0.9% saline. Intravenous cannulas were placed in each arm for intravenous infusion and blood sampling, respectively.
Once the catheter was in place, fasting motility was monitored until the occurrence of a phase III of the interdigestive migrating motor complex, and during a phase of motor quiescence (3), a "baseline" (t = 15 min) blood sample was taken and a visual analog scale (VAS) questionnaire assessing perceptions of appetite was administered. At t = 0 min, 1) control, 2) CCK-8, 3) GLP-1, or 4) CCK-8+GLP-1 infusion was commenced and continued for 150 min. During the infusion blood samples were obtained and VAS was completed at regular intervals. At t = 120 min, subjects were extubated and immediately offered a standardized, cold buffet-style meal (8). The meal consisted of bread, cold meats, cheese, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, mayonnaise, butter, apple, banana, yogurt, chocolate custard, fruit salad, iced coffee, orange juice, and water. The amount of food offered was in excess of what a subject could be expected to consume. Subjects were allowed up to 30 min to consume their meals and instructed to eat until comfortably full. At t = 150 min the infusion was stopped, a final blood sample was taken, and a VAS was administered. Subjects were then monitored for a further 30 min and, after removal of the intravenous cannulas, allowed to leave the laboratory.
Measurements
Appetite and energy intake. Appetite ratings (fullness, desire to eat) were assessed by validated VAS (30). Nausea and bloating were also quantified. Each VAS consisted of a 100-mm horizontal line, on which 0 represented "sensation not felt at all" and 100 "sensation felt the greatest." The subject placed a vertical mark along the line to indicate the strength of each sensation every 10 min between 0 and 30 min, every 15 min until t = 60 min, and every 30 min until t = 150 min. The energy (kJ) and amount (g) consumed at the buffet meal, including macronutrient distribution (% energy from fat, carbohydrate, and protein), were evaluated with the software program Foodworks 3.01 (Xyris Software, Highgate Hill, Australia; Ref. 8).
APD pressures.
Manometric pressures recorded between 15 and 120 min were digitized on a computer-based system running commercially available software (HAD; Assoc. Prof. G. S. Hebbard, Royal Melbourne Hospital, Melbourne, Australia) and stored for subsequent analysis. APD pressures were analyzed for 1) number and amplitude of pressure waves (PWs) in the antrum and duodenum, 2) number and amplitude of isolated pyloric pressure waves (IPPWs), 3) basal pyloric pressure (pyloric "tone"), and 4) pressure wave sequences (PWSs) (8). PWs in the antrum, pylorus, and duodenum were defined by an amplitude of
10 mmHg, with a minimum interval of 15 s between peaks for antral and pyloric waves and 3 s for duodenal waves (36), and analyzed with custom-written software (Gastrointestinal Motility Unit, University Hospital Utrecht, Utrecht, Netherlands). Basal pyloric pressures were calculated by subtracting the mean basal pressure (excluding phasic pressures) recorded at the most distal antral side hole from the mean basal pressure recorded at the sleeve (18), using custom-written software (MAD; Prof. C.-H. Malbert, Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique, Rennes, France). PWs in the antrum, pylorus, and duodenum were considered related and defined as PWSs if their rate of travel between side holes was between 9 and 160 mm/s (36). PWSs were characterized according to the distance traveled, i.e., over at least 2 (1.5 to <3 cm), 3 (3 to <4.5 cm), 4 (4.5 to <6 cm), 5 (6 to <7.5 cm), 6 (7.5 to <9 cm), 7 (9 to <10.5 cm) 8 (10.5 to <12 cm), 9 (12 to <13.5 cm), 10 (13.5 to <15 cm), 11 (15 to <16.5 cm), 12 (16.5 to <18 cm), 13 (18 to <19.5 cm), 14 (19.5 to <21 cm), and 15 (21 to <22.5 cm) channels, and expressed as total number of waves with custom-written software (Gastrointestinal Motility Unit, Utrecht, Netherlands).
Plasma CCK and GLP-1 Concentrations
Ten-milliliter venous blood samples, for evaluation of plasma CCK and GLP-1, were collected in chilled EDTA-treated tubes containing 400 kIU aprotinin (Trasylol; Bayer Australia, Pymble, Australia) per liter of blood. Plasma was separated by centrifugation (3,200 rpm, 15 min, 4°C) within 30 min of collection and stored at 70°C until assayed. CCK-8 and GLP-1 were measured on the blood samples obtained at t = 0, 10, 30, 120, 150, and 180 min.
Plasma CCK (pmol/l) was determined by radioimmunoassay after ethanol extraction (26). The antibody used (C258; lot 105H4852, Sigma Chemical, St Louis, MO) binds to all CCK peptides containing the sulfated tyrosine residue in position 7, shows a 26% cross-reactivity with unsulfated CCK-8 and <2% cross-reactivity with human gastrin, and does not bind to structurally unrelated peptides. The intra-assay coefficient of variation (CV) was 9% and the interassay CV was 27%, with a sensitivity of 2.5 pmol/l.
Plasma GLP-1 (pmol/l) was measured by radioimmunoassay (44). The antibody, supplied by Professor S. R. Bloom (Hammersmith Hospital, London, UK), did not cross-react with glucagon, gastric inhibitory peptide, or other gut or pancreatic peptides and has been demonstrated by chromatography to measure intact GLP-1(736) amide. Intra-assay CV was 17% and interassay CV was 18%, with a sensitivity of 1.5 pmol/l.
Statistical Analysis
Baseline ("0") was calculated as the mean of values obtained at t = 15 and 0 min for VAS and plasma hormone concentrations and between t = 15 and 0 min for the total number and amplitude of antral and duodenal PWs, IPPWs, mean basal pyloric pressures, and total number of PWSs. The number and amplitude of antral and duodenal PWs were expressed as mean values during the first 120 min of the infusion period. IPPWs, basal pyloric pressure, and PWSs were expressed as mean values for 15-min intervals between 15 and 120 min (i.e., 015, 1530,..., 105120 min). PWSs were expressed as the total number of waves traveling over between 2 and 15 channels during the first 120 min of the infusion period. All data, with the exception of plasma CCK and GLP-1 concentrations, were expressed as changes from baseline. VAS, plasma hormone concentrations, IPPWs, basal pyloric pressures, and PWSs were analyzed by repeated-measures AVOVA with time (t = 0, 10, 20, 30,..., 120 min, or t = 015, 1530,..., 105120 min, see above) and treatment as factors. One-way ANOVA was used to analyze the effect of treatment on the number and amplitude of antral and duodenal PWs, as well as energy intake. Post hoc paired comparisons, adjusted for multiple comparisons by Bonferronis correction, were performed when ANOVAs revealed significant effects. In accordance with correct statistical practice, significant effects are reported as time by treatment interaction, treatment effect, and/or time effect, in this hierarchy, i.e., by definition, when a treatment effect is reported, no time by treatment interaction is evident. Plasma CCK-8 and GLP-1 concentrations at 120, 150, and 180 min were compared with Students paired t-test. Statistical significance was accepted at P < 0.05, and data are presented as means ± SE.

Appetite
Perceptions. There was a significant effect of treatment on scores for desire to eat (treatment effect: P = 0.037) (Fig. 1A). CCK-8 decreased scores for desire to eat compared with both control (CCK-8 vs. control: P = 0.027) and GLP-1 (CCK-8 vs. GLP-1: P = 0.008), whereas there was no difference between GLP-1 and control. There was no significant difference between CCK-8+GLP-1 and CCK-8 or GLP-1. There was a significant effect of time on scores for desire to eat (time effect: P = 0.009). Scores for desire to eat decreased during the first 10 min of the CCK-8 infusion and did not change over the subsequent 110 min.
|
There was a significant effect of treatment on scores for nausea (treatment effect: P = 0.026) (Fig. 1C). CCK-8 increased nausea scores compared with control (CCK-8 vs. control: P = 0.028), whereas there was no difference between GLP-1 and control or between CCK-8 and GLP-1. Although there was no difference between CCK-8+GLP-1 and CCK-8, there was a trend for CCK-8+GLP-1 to increase nausea scores to a greater extent than GLP-1 (P = 0.07).
Energy intake. There was a significant effect of treatment on energy intake (treatment effect: P = 0.003) (Fig. 2). CCK-8 decreased energy intake compared with both control (CCK-8 vs. control: P = 0.002) and GLP-1 (CCK-8 vs. GLP-1: P = 0.001), whereas there was no difference between GLP-1 and control. CCK-8+GLP-1 decreased energy intake compared with GLP-1 (CCK-8+GLP-1 vs. GLP-1: P = 0.001) but not CCK-8. Similarly, there was a treatment effect on the amount (g) eaten at the buffet meal (treatment effect: P = 0.002). CCK-8 decreased the amount eaten compared with both control (CCK-8 vs. control: P = 0.001) and GLP-1 (CCK-8 vs. GLP-1: P = 0.003); however, there was no difference between GLP-1 and control. CCK-8+GLP-1 decreased the amount consumed compared with GLP-1 (CCK-8+GLP-1 vs. GLP-1: P = 0.03), but the effect did not differ from that of CCK-8 (data not shown).
|
ADP Pressures
Antral pressures. There was a significant effect of treatment on the number of antral PWs (treatment effect: P = 0.001) (Fig. 3A). Both CCK-8 and GLP-1 decreased the number of PWs compared with control (CCK-8 vs. control: P = 0.001; GLP-1 vs. control: P = 0.002), with no difference between CCK-8 and GLP-1. Although the mean number of antral waves was less with CCK-8+GLP-1 than with CCK-8 or GLP-1 alone, this difference was not significant.
|
Pyloric pressures.
BASAL PRESSURE (TONE).
There was a significant effect of treatment on basal pyloric pressure (treatment effect: P = 0.003) (Fig. 4A). CCK-8 increased basal pyloric pressure compared with both control (CCK-8 vs. control: P = 0.001) and GLP-1 (CCK-8 vs. GLP-1: P = 0.003), with no difference between GLP-1 and control. CCK-8+GLP-1 also increased basal pyloric pressure compared with control (CCK-8+GLP-1 vs. control: P = 0.018), with no significant difference between CCK-8+GLP-1 and CCK-8. There was a significant effect of time on basal pyloric pressure (time effect: P = 0.035). Both CCK-8 and CCK-8+GLP-1 caused a marked increase in basal pyloric pressure during the first 15 min of infusion before gradually decreasing to reach baseline levels by 120 min.
|
There was an effect of treatment on the amplitude of IPPWs (treatment effect: P = 0.01) (Fig. 4C). CCK-8 increased the amplitude of IPPWs compared with control (CCK-8 vs. control; P = 0.007) but not GLP-1; there was no difference between GLP-1 and control. CCK-8+GLP-1 also increased the amplitude of IPPWs compared with control (CCK-8+GLP-1 vs. control: P = 0.002), whereas there was no difference between CCK-8+GLP-1 and CCK-8. There was a significant effect of time on the amplitude of IPPWs (time effect: P = 0.001).
Duodenal pressures. There was a significant effect of treatment on the number of duodenal PWs (treatment effect: P = 0.001) (Fig. 5). Both CCK-8 and GLP-1 decreased the number of duodenal PWs compared with control (CCK-8 vs. control: P = 0.001; GLP-1 vs. control: P = 0.001), with no difference between CCK-8 and GLP-1. CCK-8+GLP-1 reduced duodenal PWs more than either CCK-8 (CCK-8+GLP-1 vs. CCK-8; P = 0.025) or GLP-1 (CCK-8+GLP-1 vs. GLP-1; P = 0.001) alone. There was a trend for the amplitude of duodenal PWs to differ between study conditions (treatment effect: P = 0.07), so that the amplitude tended to be lower after CCK-8, GLP-1, and CCK-8+GLP-1 compared with control (data not shown).
|
|
There was a treatment by time interaction for plasma CCK-8 concentrations (treatment * time effect: P = 0.001) (Fig. 7A). Infusion of both CCK-8 and CCK-8+GLP-1 elevated plasma CCK-8 concentrations compared with control (CCK-8 and CCK-8+GLP-1 vs. control: P < 0.001) and GLP-1 (CCK-8 and CCK-8/GLP-1 vs. GLP-1: P < 0.001) over 120 min of the infusion period. There was a significant rise in plasma CCK after meal ingestion during control and GLP-1 infusions between t = 120 and t = 150 min (P = 0.001), whereas plasma CCK decreased during infusion of CCK-8 and CCK-8+GLP-1 (P = 0.002). There was no difference between treatments at either 150 or 180 min.

| DISCUSSION |

|
|

Clarification as to whether there is an interaction between CCK-8 and GLP-1 is relevant for an understanding of the mechanisms regulating energy intake and gastrointestinal motility and, potentially, the pathogenesis of obesity. Intravenous infusion of CCK-8 has been reported in the majority of studies to increase fullness, suppress hunger, and inhibit energy intake in healthy humans (22, 26), consistent with our observations. Although it could be argued that the plasma CCK concentrations resulting from the infusion in this study may be moderately supraphysiological (13, 37), they are comparable with the concentrations observed after a meal in our previous studies where plasma CCK-8 was measured with an identical assay (25, 41). Although the majority of studies have reported that intravenous infusion of GLP-1 decreases perceptions of appetite and reduces energy intake (9, 16, 42), some have failed to demonstrate any appetite-suppressant effect (24, 27). A meta-analysis suggests that the effects of exogenous administration of GLP-1 on appetite and energy intake, although significant, are also modest (42). Furthermore, in some studies nausea and vomiting occurred after administration of relatively high doses of GLP-1 (
4.5 nmol/kg body wt) (28, 35). The dose of GLP-1 (0.9 pmol·kg1·min1) we used was comparable to that in previous studies (9, 14, 24) and resulted in slightly supraphysiological plasma levels, compared with those observed in response to a meal or duodenal nutrient infusion (5, 31). Furthermore, plasma GLP-1 levels at 180 min (i.e., after the meal and 30 min after the cessation of the GLP-1 infusion) were not significantly different from those at 120 min, and no nausea occurred in any subjects. Clearly, studies using specific GLP-1 antagonists (39) are indicated to further establish, or refute, a physiological role for GLP-1 in the regulation of energy intake in humans.
Compared with individual infusions of CCK-8 and GLP-1, the combination of CCK-8+GLP-1 did not suppress desire to eat or enhance fullness any further. This observation is apparently at odds with the outcome of a recent study reporting that concurrent intravenous administration of CCK-33 and GLP-1 reduced hunger more than either CCK-33 or GLP-1 alone (14). The reason for this discrepancy is unclear; however, it should be recognized that the type and dose of CCK used in the study by Gutzwiller et al. (CCK-33, 0.2 pmol·kg1·min1; Ref. 14) are different from our study. Moreover, in their study, appetite perceptions were measured with a category scale and not, as in our investigation, a true VAS. An apparent anomaly in their study (14) was that the combination of CCK-33+GLP-1 did not suppress energy intake more than infusion of CCK-33 or GLP-1 alone; rather, there was an infra-additive reduction in energy intake after infusion of CCK-33+GLP-1. In our study, although the combination of CCK-8+GLP-1 decreased energy intake, the magnitude of this reduction was comparable to that induced by CCK-8 alone.
Intravenous administration of both CCK and GLP-1 have been reported, in animals and humans, to suppress antral and duodenal PWs and stimulate pyloric pressures (1, 10, 38); these effects are associated with the slowing of gastric emptying (1, 11, 33). In our study, CCK-8 infusion reduced the number of antral and duodenal PWs and the amplitude of antral PWs and PWSs and increased the number and amplitude of IPPWs. GLP-1 also reduced the number of antral and duodenal PWs and the amplitude of antral PWs and PWSs but, perhaps surprisingly, had no effect on IPPWs. Hence, a dose of GLP-1 that did not affect appetite or energy intake or stimulate pyloric pressures had effects on antral and duodenal PWs comparable to a dose of CCK-8 that did suppress both appetite and energy intake and stimulated both phasic and tonic pyloric pressures. It could therefore be argued that discrepant effects on pyloric motility may account for the observed differences in the effects of CCK-8 and GLP-1 on energy intake. Although our data do not suggest that there is a close relationship between changes in APD pressures and appetite perceptions, the relationship between pyloric motility and appetite and energy intake clearly warrants evaluation, particularly as a recent study has reported that electrical stimulation of the pylorus decreases energy intake in dogs (45). Certainly, our data indicate that there are different thresholds for effects of GLP-1 on gastrointestinal motility and energy intake.
Our study represents the first evaluation of the combined effects of CCK-8 and GLP-1 on APD motility. CCK-8+GLP-1 significantly reduced the number of duodenal PWs compared with CCK-8 or GLP-1 alone, and mean values for antral PWs were also lower. However, although it may be considered that the effects of CCK-8+GLP-1 on APD motility are greater than those of either CCK-8 or GLP-1 alone, there was no evidence of synergism. It should be recognized that the doses of CCK-8 and GLP-1 used may have exerted near-maximal effects on APD motility. If this were the case, the magnitude of the individual effects of CCK-8 and GLP-1 given alone might have been too great to allow a demonstration of a synergistic interaction when the two peptides were given concurrently. CCK-8 also stimulated the number of IPPWs slightly more than CCK-8+GLP-1, suggesting that infusion of GLP-1 may have attenuated the effect of CCK-8. Although this has not been described previously, there is evidence to that effect from other gut hormones (12). For example, concurrent intravenous infusion of glucagon and CCK-8 reduces meal size less than the sum of the effects of glucagon and CCK-8 alone (12).
Some limitations of our study must be recognized. Only male volunteers were included, and, accordingly, our observations may not be applicable to females. As only nine subjects were studied, the possibility of a type 2 error should be considered, although, as stated, the number of subjects recruited was based on power calculations from our previous studies (7, 26).
In summary, our study indicates that, at the doses evaluated, CCK-8 and GLP-1 have discrepant effects on appetite, energy intake, and APD motility. Infusion of CCK-8, but not GLP-1, decreased perceptions of appetite and energy intake. Furthermore, although both CCK-8 and GLP-1 had significant effects on antral and duodenal PWs, the effect of the combination of CCK-8+GLP-1 did not exceed the sum of the effects of CCK-8 and GLP-1 alone, providing no evidence of synergism. Finally, infusion of CCK-8, but not GLP-1, suppressed energy intake and stimulated phasic and tonic pyloric pressures. In view of this, and other work (45), the relationship between energy intake and pyloric motility requires further exploration.
