| Researchers from Philadelphia gave a single intravenous dose of secretin versus placebo in 61 children with autistic spectrum disorder. |
|
| One such intervention involves the intravenous injection of secretin, a gastrointestinal polypeptide. |
|
| The duodenum is important in the secretion of a number of hormones, including secretin, cholecystokinin, and enteroglucagon. |
|
| Another hormone from the small intestine, cholecystokinin, works similarly to secretin. |
|
| At this point, secretin cannot be recommended, based on the empirical evidence that it is ineffective and may be harmful in some cases. |
|
| A report from parents of a child suggested that secretin might improve the symptoms of autism. |
|
| The hormones capable of altering the MMC include insulin, pancreatic polypeptide, somatostatin, glucagon, secretin, motilin, gastrin, cholecystokinin, and neurotensin. |
|
| This study adds to the body of work that has shown that secretin is not effective in the treatment of autistic symptoms. |
|
| The hormone secretin has been tried as a treatment for autism. |
|
| Sun and Shay used both pancreozymin and secretin to examine the pancreas. |
|
| Therefore, like quantitative fecal fat excretion, the secretin pancreozymin or the Lundh test are not generally available in a clinical hospital setting. |
|
| A method for aiding in the diagnosis of autism comprising the steps of analyzing the level of secretin in a blood sample from a patient suspected of suffering from autism and correlating said level with norms. |
|
| Effects of secretin, pancreozymin, or gastrin on the response of the endocrine pancreas to administration of glucose or arginine in man. |
|
| Aging and exocrine pancreatic function evaluated by the recently standardized secretin test. |
|
| Question: Does the use of secretin result in measurable improvements in autistic symptoms, language or cognitive functioning as compared to placebo. |
|
| Most pancreatic exocrine stimulation comes from the duodenum, which releases cholecystokinin and secretin, targeting acinar and ductal cells, respectively. |
|
| The stomach itself is protected from the strong acid by the secretion of a thick mucus layer, and by secretin induced buffering with sodium bicarbonate. |
|
| Food and Drug Administration has granted orphan drug designation to its synthetic human secretin, RG1068, for use with magnetic resonance imaging of the pancreas. |
|
| Additional studies with young adults rather than middle-aged are recommended, as well as evaluating the effects of BMI and gender on gastrin, secretin, and cholecystokinin. |
|
| In the most extensive test so far of its capability to treat autism, the controversial drug secretin has failed to help children with the neurological disorder. |
|
|
|
| Spence is the lead investigator at UCLA for a national clinical trial for the drug secretin, which has shown promise for a certain subgroup of autistic patients. |
|
| There are several studies on Secretin that have been done in a blinded manner and in none has any significant effect been documented. |
|
| Secretin mainly induces secretion of the water and salts of the pancreatic juice, whereas pancreozymin mainly stimulates secretion of enzymes. |
