Caerulein stimulated amylase secretion from rat pancreatic acini. Dispersed pancreatic acini were prepared from control rats, rats pre-exposed to hyperthermia, or rats stimulated with isoproterenol and were incubated with various concentrations of caerulein for 30 minutes. Amylase release into the medium was determined as described in the text. Results are expressed as per cent of total amylase content in acini. Results represent mean (SEM) values obtained from three separate experiments.
