Unresponsiveness of exocrine rat pancreas to calcemic challenges (hypercalcemia, EDTA hypocalcemia or calcitonin administration) which influence stomach function

  • Short Communication
  • Published:
Research in Experimental Medicine

Summary

In the rat, stimulated exocrine pancreatic secretion is not influenced by acute hypercalcemia, EDTA hypocalcemia or calcitonin administration. This unresponsiveness is in contrast to the reaction of the rat stomach to calcemic challenges.

Zusammenfassung

Die stimulierte exokrine Pankreasfunktion der Ratte läßt sich durch akute Hypercalciämie, ÄDTA-Hypocalciämie oder Calcitoningabe nicht beeinflussen. Dieses Verhalten steht im Gegensatz zur Reaktion des Magens der Ratte auf Calciumreize.
