PURPOSE: Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) induced in young pigs by pancreatic duct ligation (PDL) early after weaning result in total growth deprivation while it has little effect in somewhat older pigs. The main objective was to study effects of EPI on gut structure and function in littermate pigs underwent to PDL at different age.
MATERIAL/METHODS: Pigs, duct-ligated at either 7 (2 weeks post-weaning, PDL-7) or 16 weeks of age (PDL-16), and euthanized at an age of 21-23 weeks together with un-operated littermates were studied. The intestinal in vitro permeability was studied in separate PDL-pigs and compared to un-operated.
RESULTS: Morphometric analysis showed gut mucosal atrophy in the PDL-7 as compared to PDL-16 pigs, while no differences in mucosal disaccharidase activities. The intestinal permeability for different-sized markers was significantly increased in the PDL-pigs compared to the un-operated controls. Analyses of the intestinal digesta showed a total lack of pancreatic enzymes in all PDL-pigs, while instead new, as yet unidentified, enzyme-activities appeared.
CONCLUSIONS: All EPI-pigs, independent of age at PDL-operation, displayed adaptive gut changes, however the EPI-pigs operated early after weaning appeared more sensitive, probably related to their gut maturity and possibly explaining the growth arrest seen in these pigs.
