Abstract: | In chronic experiments on dogs with Pavlov's fistula, potassium and calcium concentration in the blood plasma was increased after feeding; their pancreatic concentration was lower, respectively, by 0.2 and 0.3 units/ml prior to feeding and 0.3 and 0.6 after the feeding. Sodium concentration in the pancreatic juice corresponded to its concentration in the blood plasma and did not change after feeding. Changes of sodium concentration in the blood plasma or pancreatic juice indicate disturbances in pancreatic function. |
