Abstract
Exocrine pancreatic function was studied by rapid i.v. injection and by prolonged i.v. infusion of a combination of secretin and caerulein in a group of patients with proven pancreatic disease and in controls. The aim was to compare the value of the 2 procedures of stimulation in the diagnosis of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. The pancreatic response to infusion of the stimulants discriminates normal from abnormal pancreatic function better than responses to rapid injection.
