| dc.description.abstract | Pancreatic response to pancreozymin and secretin stimulations has been studied in
premature and full term neonates. The following results have been obtained. (7) At
birth premature neonates have a fairly well developed exocrine pancreatic function
which is, however, lower than that of full term neonates. (2) One week after birth,
exocrine pancreatic activity becomes higher in premature than in full term neonates.
(3) Early administration of small amounts of starch stimulates pancreatic a-amylase
(EC. 3.3.1.1) production. (4) A high protein diet stimulates increased production
of both trypsin (EC. 3.4.4.4) and lipase (EC. 3.1.1.3), whereas a high fat diet alone
has no effect on lipase secretion. | |
