Pancreatic secretion of total protein and of three hydrolases collected in healthy subjects via duodenoscopic cannulation. Effects of secretin, pancreozymin, and caerulein.
Pancreatic secretion of total protein and of three types of hydrolases (amylase, lipase, and thymotrypsinogen(s) was determined in human subjects free of gastrointestinal disease. Pure pancreatic juice was collected by canulation of Wirsung's duct under duodenoscopy. Rapid intravenous injection of pancreozymin (1 Crick-Harper-Raper U per kg) stimulated secretion of total protein and hydrolases within 1 min. This stimulation was of short duration and had a half-life of 70 to 100 sec. Rapid intravenous injection of caerulein (20) ng per kg) induced a similar response. Parallel variations in total protein, amylase, lipase, and chymotrypsinogen(s) were observed in the three experiments where complete enzyme analyses were performed.
