We have compared the concentrations and total outputs of trypsin, amylase, and lipase secreted into the duodenum during secretin pancreozymin and Lundh Borgstrom tests in order to assess the relative intensity of pancreatic stimulation provided by these means. The mean concentration of trypsin, and the mean 10 minute total output of trypsin, amylase, and lipase after the meal (though less than ...

PELOT, DANIEL, AND MORTON I. GROSSMAN. Distribution and fate of pancreatic enzymes in small intestine of the rat. Am. J. Physiol. 202 (2) : 285-288. I g6z.--The trypsin, chymotrypsin, and lipase activities of washings of the small intestine of the rat were measured. Diversion of pancreatic juice to the exterior of the body resulted in rapid disappearance of enzymes from the small intestine with...

The concentration in pancreatic tissue and the total pancreatic content of three xenobiotic metabolising enzymes has been determined in two models of experimental pancreatic growth namely, cholecystokinin-octapeptide injections and soy flour feeding. No significant change in pancreatic concentrations of benzo(a)pyrene hydroxylase or glucuronyl transferase was detected. In both models of pancrea...

A simultaneous combined pancreatic test can be performed in one morning with only one intubation of the duodenum. The test includes the measurement of exocrine pancreatic secretion of bicarbonate, enzymes, and radioactive selenium, pancreatic scanning, hypotonic duodenography, and cytology of the duodenal aspirate. In the first 70 patients it was found that a single secretion test was of only l...

Benign pancreatic hyperenzymemia (Gullo syndrome) is characterized by a more than threefold increase of the pancreatic enzymes lipase and amylase in the absence of a pancreatic disease over a period of more than 1 year, with elevations and significant undulations of pancreatic enzyme serum concentrations occurring on a day-to-day basis for 5 consecutive days. Nonspecific abdominal complaints ma...

Computer-generated molecular models of the trypsin-like domains of blood coagulation factor IXa, Factor Xa, and thrombin have been prepared. These hypothetical models are based upon the sequence homology of the blood coagulation enzymes with the pancreatic serine proteases and the known three-dimensional structure of the pancreatic serine proteases. The internal structures and active sites of t...

primary pancreatic lymphoma is a rare extranodal manifestation of any histopathologic subtype of b cell non-hodgkin's lymphoma that predominantly involves the pancreas. it comprises less than 0.2% of pancreatic malignancies and less than 0.7% of non-hodgkin's lymphomas. this lymphoma is almost never suspected clinically. it is usually diagnosed by surgical exploration for suspected ad...

Introduction. Extra-pancreatic complications of acute and chronic pancreatitis that do not relate to vital organs are rare. The most common include subcutaneous paniculitis, arthritis, bone marrow fat necrosis, vasculitis. These associated conditions have been termed pancreatic disease syndrome (PDS), which can occur only with but also in other diseases. PDS is believed be caused by circulating...

BACKGROUND Appetite loss is one complication of chronic heart failure (CHF), and its association with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) is not well investigated in CHF. AIM We attempted to detect the association between PEI and CHF-induced appetite. METHODS Patients with CHF were enrolled, and body mass index (BMI), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), New York Heart Association...

 The aim of this study was to determine the activity of digestive enzymes during the fry development of Rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ), which has a remarkable role in food digestion and absorption in the first feeding. The assessment of digestive enzymes activity of gastric (pepsin), pancreatic (trypsin, chymotrypsin, α-amylase and lipase) and intestinal (alkaline phosphatase) revealed t...
