Abstract

Biochemical studies of pancreatic juice collected by duodenal aspiration and endoscopic cannulation of the main pancreatic duct were performed and compared in the same fasted normal subjects in seven cases. The comparison of the results shows that under the same stimulation (0.5 CU/kg/hr of GIH secretin and 75 ng/kg/hr of cerulein) the endoscopic cannulation of the main pancreatic duct provides the best values for the maximal secretory capacity. On the other hand, this technique is no better than our current method of duodenal aspiration for the exploration of the enzyme secretion.
