Exocrine and endocrine pancreatic function in diabetes mellitus and chronic pancreatitis.

چکیده
EDITORIAL SYNOPSIS Endocrine and exocrine pancreatic function was studied in a small group of controlled patients and in patients with chronic pancreatitis and with mild diabetes mellitus. Patients with chronic pancreatitis showed impaired production of pancreatic enzyme and inadequate production of insulin but no close correlation between exocrine and endocrine function could be demonstrated. Patients with diabetes mellitus show normal exocrine function but plasma insulin concentration was equal to or greater than normal.

Diabetes and carbohydrate intolerance can occur in pancreatitis. Although one-half of patients with acute pancreatitis will have some evidence of glucose intolerance during their acute illness, few will require insulin administration on either a short- or long-term basis.

Pancreas is a doubled-entity organ, with both an exocrine and an endocrine component, reciprocally interacting in a composed system whose function is relevant for digestion, absorption, and homeostasis of nutrients. Thus, it is not surprising that disorders of the exocrine pancreas also affect the endocrine system and vice versa. It is well-known that patients with chronic pancreatitis develop ...
