Abstract
Caerulein administered to anaesthetized pigs by slow i.v. infusions at doses of 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 ng kg−1min−1 for 30 min, stimulated pancreatic juice production, increased the protein content of the juice and enhanced its amylolytic, lipolytic and proteolytic activities. In a single experiment, an i.v. infusion of secretin (0.001 U kg−1min−1) lasting through the whole experimental time, provoked potentiation of the caerulein stimulatory effects on pancreatic juice production, protein content and amylolytic activity.
