Postnatal Development of the Rat Exocrine Pancreas. II. Effects of Protein-Calorie Malnutrition on Amylase Secretion and CCK Receptor Binding
Abstract
Malnutrition induces pancreatic atrophy and intracellular derangement, but its effects on cholecystokinin (CCK) receptors and the CCK-induced secretory response remain unclear. We used a rodent model to study the developmental effects of protein-calorie malnutrition on exocrine pancreatic function. Simultaneous experiments evaluated postnatal alterations in CCK-induced amylase response and receptor binding of pancreatic acini. At all postnatal …
