“…However, recent studies (Singer, Solomon & Grossman, 1980a;Singer, Solomon, Rammert, Caspary, Niebel, Goebell & Grossman, 1981;Solomon & Grossman, 1979) in dogs with a transplanted extrinsically denervated portion of pancreas indicate that an enteropancreatic, vago-vagal, cholinergic reflex is a major mediator of the pancreatic enzyme response to intestinal stimulants such as amino acids, fatty acids and HCl. In another recent study (Singer, Solomon, Wood & Grossman, 1980b), further evidence for the existence of such a reflex was provided by comparing the latency of amylase secretion by the intact innervated pancreas in response to intestinal stimulants with that in response to an intraportal injection of cholecystokinin (CCK). The latency of the amylase response to intraduodenal oleate and tryptophan was shorter than to intraportal CCK.…”
