Abstract
Effects of secretin and Cholecystokinin-Pancreozymin (CCK-PZ) on the secretion of bile in anaesthetized rabbits have been studied. Single injections of secretin (5.0 u.kg(-1) significantly increased the flow of bile irrespectively of whether the cystic duct was free or had been tied. A sustained increase in bile flow could be obtained by the continuous infusion of secretin. Cholecystokinin-Pancreozymin was effective in increasing the bile flow in doses of 1.0 u.kg(-1). Much of the effect could be attributed to contraction of the gallbladder but a significant increase in flow could still be elicited after ligation of the cystic duct. Our findings strongly suggest that the biliary secretion in rabbits is not as different from the general pattern as has previously been suggested.
