Abstract
The intramuscular injection of calcitonin (20 MRC units/kg) produced 30% increase in the activity of acetylcholinesterase in the pancreas with a concomitant 30% and 25% decrease in the activity of the enzyme in the jejunum and ileum respectively, 30 min after the injection. The hormone treatment did not significantly change the enzyme activity in the stomach and colon.Keywords
