Pancreatic secretion in pigs fed a low manganese diet
Pancreatic secretion was collected under chloralose anesthesia from normal pigs and pigs fed a low manganese diet. The volume of juice secreted was lower in animals fed the low Mn diet under basal conditions. With secretin alone only strong stimulation, e.g. vagal stimulation and large doses of gastrin (10 ..mu..g i.v.) were capable of raising the secreted water in the experimental group to control levels. This, with a few exceptions, was the state of affairs with respect to juice protease, amylase, zinc, calcium and magnesium. The low Mn diet did not result in a significant drop in the Mn, Cu, Zn, Mg or Ca concentrations in the pancreas but serum Mn was significantly depressed. The selenium content of pancreatic tissue was depressed in pigs fed the low Mn diet. 9 references, 8 figures.
