[Exocrine function of pancreas in chronic hypocalcemia. Studies in parathyroidectomized rats (author's transl)].
The influence of chronic hypocalcemia, induced by parathyroidectomy on exocrine function of pancreas was studied in rats. The concentration of total calcium in pancreatic juice was decreased in the PTX-animals, in respect to the flow rate, however no decrease in output was seen. After an initial increase of the secretion of alpha-amylase no differences to normal rats could be observed. The flow rate of PTX-rats was significantly higher than that of normal rats. These results suggest that the exocrine pancreatic function of rats is not changed very much in vivo by chronic hypocalcemia.
