ON THE MECHANISM OF THE ADAPTATION OF PANCREATIC ENZYMES TO DIETARY COMPOSITION

Abstract

Substitution of dextrose for cornstarch in a balanced diet resulted in increased amylase content of the pancreatic tissue in rats. Adm. of protamine zinc insulin to rats fed a balanced diet caused a depression of amylase content. Substitution of casein hydrolysate for casein in a balanced diet produced a depression of trypsin content of the pancreatic tissue.
