Obstructive jaundice increases pancreatic secretion in dogs when stimulated by secretin or pancreozymin. This suggests pancreatic hypersensitivity to these hormones may cause hypersecretion.

Obstructive jaundice can alter pancreatic function.
Understanding pancreatic secretion in jaundice is crucial for clinical management.
Purpose of the Study:
To investigate the hypersecretory function of the pancreas in dogs with experimentally induced obstructive jaundice.
To determine the role of secretin and pancreozymin in pancreatic hypersecretion during jaundice.
Main Methods:
Utilized an isolated, blood-perfused canine pancreas model.
Compared basal and stimulated pancreatic secretion (secretin, pancreozymin, acetylcholine) between control and jaundiced dogs.
Main Results:
No difference in basal pancreatic secretion between control and jaundiced dogs.
Obstructively jaundiced dogs showed a greater increase in total pancreatic juice flow, bicarbonate, protein, and amylase output upon stimulation with secretin or pancreozymin.
Concentrations of bicarbonate, protein, and amylase remained unchanged in both groups.
Acetylcholine stimulation yielded similar results in both control and jaundiced dogs.
Conclusions:
Pancreatic hypersensitivity to secretin and pancreozymin may be a key mechanism driving pancreatic hypersecretion in obstructive jaundice.
These findings provide insights into the physiological changes of the pancreas in response to biliary obstruction.
