Pancreatic exocrine function in rats with severe retinol deficiency.
Starting from the fact that extensive retinol deficiency leads to morphological pancreatic alterations, the secretion of the gland and the specific enzyme activities in the pancreatic tissue were studied in rats fed a retinol-free diet for 70 days. No clear alteration of the exogen stimulated pancreatic secretion and of the enzyme content of the gland was observed.
