Physiopathogenic hypothesis of alcoholic pancreatitis: supranormal ecbolic stimulation of the "pancreon" units secondary to the loss of the negative component of pancreas innervation

O M Tiscornia et al. Pancreas. 1987.

Abstract

In the rat, basal pancreatic secretion is generated and modulated by positive and negative duodeno-pancreatic reflexes. The former activates secretion, the latter acts as a "brake". Impairment of this brake plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of alcoholic pancreatitis by causing elevation of pancreatic cholinergic tone and inducing increased pancreon ecbolic response to CCK-PZ stimulation. Both factors lead to pancreatic damage by supranormal stimulation of the pancreon.
