“…In four of the five patients where a meal poor in vitamin B12 had been added to the radioactive test dose, an absorption-enhancing effect was found, although not the same extent as described by Henderson et al in patients with alcohol-induced chronic pancreatitis and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency [4]. These authors believed that this surprising phenomenon could be explained by the stimulating effect of diet on the residual function of the exocrine pancreas which was still able to restore the vitamin B12 absorption to normal.…”

“…Vitamin B12 malabsorption occurs in some patients with chronic pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (1)(2)(3) and in rats subjected to partial pancreatectomy (4). Although hog pancreatic extract corrects the absorptive defect in both humans and animals (1,2,4), the precise constituent in the pancreatic extract responsible for the enhancement of vitamin B12 absorption has not been determined.…”

“…Although pernicious anemia (PA) is the most common cause of vitamin B12 (Bi2) malabsorption, some patients with chronic pancreatic insufficiency have been noted to have impaired B12 absorption since the first report of McIntyre et al [2,[8][9][10]14,18,21].…”
