[Enzyme-forming function of digestive glands after administration of polypeptide C, copepsidyl and panintestine]

Polypeptide C (molecular weight 2640 Dalton) extracted from artificial gastric juice), copepsidyl (containing high dosage of pepsin) and panintestine (polyenzyme drug) are studied for their effect on the activity of digestive enzymes of glandular gastric element pancreas and small intestine of rats. It is established that all mentioned drugs stimulate enzymogenesis in the analyzed organs. The activity of pepsin increases in homogenates of gastric mucosa, the activity of trypsin, total proteinases, carboxypeptidase and amylase grows in pancreas homogenates, and that of leucineaminopeptidase--in small intestine.
