A COMPARISON OF THE RESPIRATORY ACTIVITY AND HISTOLOGICAL CHANGES IN ISOLATED PANCREATIC TISSUE

Abstract
A correlation has been made of the effects on respiration and on the histological appearance of cat pancreatic tissue stimulated in vitro by secretion, pancreozymin and acetyl-choline with eserine. Secretion of zymogen granules was initiated and respiration stimulated by acetylcholine with esterine and by pancreozymin. Atropine inhibits the actions of acetylcholine but not those of pancreozymin. Secretin stimulates repiration but does not promote secretion of zymogen granules.
