Abstract
The results obtained by bolus i.v. injection of secretin and pancreozymin GIH gastrointestinal hormone are compared with those obtained by i.v. infusion of the hormones. The test always prolonged for 1 h was done in 125 subjects, divided into 2 groups matched for sex, age and pancreatic or digestive disease. Volume, pH, bicarbonates, Ca and amylase were measured in the juice collected. Bolus i.v. injection of secretin and pancreozymin had greater diagnostic sensitivity (94%) than the infusion method (84%). If infusion was used, it was necessary to protract the test for more than 1 h.
