Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The effects of natural porcine and synthetic secretin, given by intravenous bolus or infusion, on intestinal lymph flow and protein composition in unanaesthetized rats were studied. Both forms of secretin increased lymph flow and protein output from the lymph fistula; dose-response relationships were determined. No change was observed in protein concentration in lymph or in the relative concentrations of large and small protein molecules during secretin-induced enhanced lymph flow, compared with the basal state. These results are in keeping with an increase in the functional exchange vessel area of the small intestine produced by secretin. It is possible that secretin may play a part in the hyperaemia and augmented intestinal lymph flow which occurs in the post-prandial period.
