Trypsin-like nature of the pancreatic factor that corrects vitamin B12 malabsorption associated with pancreatic
Abstract:
Hog pancreas was subfractionated and assessed for its ability to correct vitamin B(12) malabsorption in patients with pancreatic dysfunction and in rats with partial pancreatic extirpation. The constituent obtained from the pancreas that increased vitamin B(12) absorption in both humans and rats was soluble at 50,000 g, heat labile, acid stable, and approximately 20,000-25,0000 in molecular weight. The active subfractions contained tryptic and chymotryptic but no amylase or lipase activity. Thrice-crystallized trypsin corrected the vitamin B(12) malabsorption in both patients with pancreatic insufficiency and in rats with subtotal pancreatectomy. These data indicate that pancreatic proteolytic enzymes-in particular, trypsin-are necessary for optimal vitamin B(12) absorption.

Pancreatic Juice and Secretion
When acidic chyme from the stomach enters the duodenum, it triggers the release of secretin, a hormone that prompts pancreatic juice secretion. After a fatty meal, cholecystokinin, another hormone, stimulates gallbladder contraction and enhances enzyme-rich...
Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...
