Effects of substance P on fluid and amylase secretion in exocrine pancreas of rat and mouse

K Katoh et al. Res Vet Sci. 1984 Mar.

Abstract

The effects of substance P on fluid and amylase secretion were examined in the exocrine pancreas of the rat and the mouse in vivo and in vitro. In the anaesthetised rat, a single intravenous injection of substance P caused an atropine resistant increase in both the basal and caerulein stimulated flow of pancreatic juice and amylase output, but reduced the secretin stimulated pancreatic juice flow. In vitro experiments using superfused mouse pancreatic fragments supported the in vivo result showing that substance P enhanced caerulein stimulated amylase output.
