Abstract
Exocrine pancreatic secretion and plasma leptin and insulin levels in growing pigs of different genotypes
Highlights
Exocrine pancreatic secretion in pigs depends on factors attributed mainly to nutrients (Żebrowska et al, 1987) and the circadian rhythm phase (Kiela et al, 1996)
Studies on pure pig breeds in regards to pancreatic exocrine function are lacking, we aimed to examine the inbred differences in pancreatic secretion in terms of plasma leptin and insulin levels
The pigs were surgically fitted with a chronic pancreatic duct catheter and a T-shaped duodenal cannula for collection and subsequent return of pancreatic juice (PJ) into the duodenum according to Pierzynowski et al (1988)
Summary
Exocrine pancreatic secretion in pigs depends on factors attributed mainly to nutrients (Żebrowska et al, 1987) and the circadian rhythm phase (Kiela et al, 1996). Previous studies describing characteristic Pietrain and Polish synthetic line 990 pig breeds showed significant differences in feed intake, daily gain and protein-energy deposition (Fandrejewski et al, 2001). Studies on pure pig breeds in regards to pancreatic exocrine function are lacking, we aimed to examine the inbred differences in pancreatic secretion in terms of plasma leptin and insulin levels. 378 PANCREATIC SECRETION AND PLASMA LEPTIN AND INSULIN
