Abstract
RECENTLY, Véghelyi et al.1 have reported that pancreatic hypothermia leads to diminished pancreatic secretion and diminished enzyme output. Using the isolated denervated canine pancreas2, we have been able to perfuse the gland with a cooled perfusate and to analyse the pancreatic secretion for volume and protein output.
