THE ACTION OF ATROPINE ON PANCREATIC SECRETION

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4265419

BS>The action of atropine, in preveniing pancreatic secretion in response to a parasympathomimetic drug, is analyzed. Atropine does not appear to affect the uptake of radioactive glycine by the pancreatic cell, or the incorporation of radicactive amino acids into the total pancreatic tissue proteins, or into the proteins of the zymogen granules. The rate of amylase resynthesis in stimulated glands is not affected by atropine. It is suggested that atropine blocks pancreatic secretion in rats by blocking the extrusion of zymogen granules.
