Abstract

This article reviews studies on the adaptation of the exocrine pancreas to dietary fat. We include all the latest information about the mechanisms that underlie the adaptation of the secretory mechanism of the exocrine pancreas to the amount and the type of dietary fat. We review the kinetics of pancreatic adaptation and the mediators of the adaptive response of the pancreas including cellular and molecular mechanisms (modulation of intracellular messengers and gene expression of the different enzymes and secretagogues involved in the adaptation process). At the same time we include our results in this field in dogs and humans.
