Abstract

Six healthy men were studied with intravenous infusions of 0.3, 1.0, and 3.0 CU/kg-h of pure porcine secretin on separate days. The secretin elimination followed a first-order kinetics. Low pharmacological doses of secretin had no significant effects on blood levels of trypsin, pancreatic amylase, insulin, somatostatin, or pancreatic polypeptide (PP), whereas high pharmacological doses significantly elevated the blood levels of trypsin, pancreatic amylase, insulin, and somatostatin but were without effect on PP.
