Abstract:The effect of various intraduodenal alkaline solutions (0.1 M NaHCO3 0.1 M Na2CO3 and 0.025 M NaOH) on exocrine pancreatic secretion and the release of two peptides, secretin and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, was studied in anesthetized rats. The flow rate of the pancreatic juice was stimulated up to a maximum of 179, 158 and 180 % and the protein output up to 181, 131 and 162% (compared with basal) after duodenal perfusion of, respectively, 0.1 M NaHCO3, 0.1 M Na2 Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
