Keywords
pancreatic function test, Pancreatic fluid composition
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to collect pancreas fluid from the duodenum using the endoscopic pancreas function collection method in healthy participants after pancreatic stimulation with human secretin.
Interventions
During endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), a dose of intravenous secretin (0.2 µg/kg) will be administered over the course of 1 minute to stimulate pancreatic ductal cells to secrete pancreas fluid. Duodenal fluid will be aspirated through the echoendoscope in 5 minute increments (5, 10, 15, and 20 minutes) after the secretin has been administered

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pancreatic Fluid Bicarbonate Composition | 5, 10, 15, and 20-minutes post-secretin administration | A primary outcome will be the bicarbonate level (milliequivalent per liter) in the pancreatic fluid collected. |
| Pancreatic Fluid Sodium Composition | 5, 10, 15, and 20-minutes post-secretin administration | A primary outcome will be the sodium level (milliequivalent per liter) in the pancreatic fluid collected. |
| Pancreatic Fluid Potassium Composition | 5, 10, 15, and 20-minutes post-secretin administration | A primary outcome will be the potassium level (milliequivalent per liter) in the pancreatic fluid collected. |
| Pancreatic Fluid Chloride Composition | 5, 10, 15, and 20-minutes post-secretin administration | A primary outcome will be the chloride level (milliequivalent per liter) in the pancreatic fluid collected. |
