[Neurohormonal control of exocrine pancreas secretions by intra-ileal and intracolonic nutrients].

While the duodenum controls pancreatic exocrine secretion mainly via stimulatory mechanisms, intraileal and intracolonic nutrients have mainly inhibitory effects on the postprandial and interdigestive pancreatic secretion, which are described in particular. The inconsistent findings in dogs in contrast to other species (cat, rat, human) referring to the effects of intraileal nutrients are discussed. Possible mechanisms for the neurohormonal mediation of the effects of intraileal and intracolonic nutrients on the pancreatic secretion as well as the possible physiological importance of these effects are discussed.
