The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is an organ that senses a variety of nutrients including amino acids. We investigated the effects of basic amino acids, such as L-arginine (Arg), L-lysine (Lys), and L-ornithine (Orn), on GI motility. To evaluate GI motility, we measured small intestinal transit, determined by the distance that a test meal colored with Evans blue travelled in the small intestine.
Orally administered Lys and Orn increased the travelling distance of the test meal, suggesting that Lys and Orn stimulates GI motility. In contrast, Arg decreased it, suggesting that Arg suppresses GI motility. GI motility is known to be stimulated by acetylcholine via nitric oxide (NO) release. To investigate the involvement of the acetylcholine-NO system, atropine and L-NAME, an antagonist of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor and an inhibitor of NO synthase, respectively, were used. The increase in small intestinal transit induced by Lys and Orn was inhibited by both atropine and L-NAME. These results suggest that the acetylcholine-NO system is involved in the stimulatory effects of Lys and Orn on GI motility.
The Arg-induced inhibitory effect on GI motility was not blocked by lorglumide, an antagonist of cholecystokinin, which is known to suppress GI motility. Furthermore, the Arg-induced inhibitory effect on GI motility was not blocked by atropine, an antagonist that blocks the effects of Lys and Orn. Taken together, the mechanism sensing Lys and Orn may be independent of that of Arg.
