Abstract
Continuous pancreatic secretion (adhering to the general rule of parallel secretion of enzymes) was traced in urethanized rabbits for as long as 10-12 hrs., and in decerebrate or decapitate rabbits for 5-6 hrs. or until death. It persisted unabated and without marked change in enzyme content for 10-12 hrs. after ligation of the pylorus and the common bile duct, and in decapitate and urethanized rabbits, practically unchanged for 4-5 hrs. after evisceration (stomach and intestines). It is assumed that this continuous secretion is essentially a true "spontaneous" pancreatic secretion due to the particular properties of the pancreatic gland in the rabbit.
