INFLUENCE OF LIGATION OF PANCREATIC DUCTS OF DOGS UPON SERUM AMYLASE CONCENTRATION.
A sharp contrast has been demonstrated in regard to the post-operative amylase concentration of the sera of dogs, depending upon whether ligation of the pancreatic ducts was or was not a part of an otherwise prescribed operation. The characteristic feature is a marked rise of several hundred per cent in serum amylase concentration, sustained for several days, which is observed when the pancreatic ducts have been ligated.
