Effect of methylated PGE2 analogs given orally on pancreatic response to secretin in man

The effect of two methylated PGE2 analogs given orally on the pancreatic response to intravenous secretin has been studied in 8 healthy subjects. The secretion of bicarbonate was not changed by these PGE2 analogs. The secretion of enzymes during infusion of PGE2 analogs was significantly greater than in the control.
