Comparison of caerulein and cholecystokinin effects upon enzyme concentrations in duodenal aspirates
Abstract
The effect of maximal doses of cholecystokinin and caerulein on lipase and chymotropsin concentrations were compared in large groups of patients with almost equal capacities of bicarbonate secretion. The responsiveness of the pancreas is, as a whole, higher with caerulein than with cholecystokinin, this feature being specially evident in patients with chronic calcifying pancreatitis.
