Abstract

1. 1. The secretory response of hepatic bile and exocrine pancreas to gastrointestinal peptides has been studied in chronically cannulated sheep. 2. 2. Prancreatic juice flow and protein output were evoked dose dependently by intraportal injection of secretin, CCK-8, caerulein, VIP and neurotensin. However, biliary secretion was evoked by only secretin. 3. 3. Biliary and pancreatic exocrine secretions were enhanced by delivered gastric juice into the duodenum as followed by the increased plasma concentration of immunoreactive secretin (1RS). 4. 4. Results suggest that secretin is the major peptide that regulates pancreatic exocrine secretion and hepatic bile production in the sheep.
