N2  - Pancreatic secretion was studied in rats fed raw soyaflour before (basal) and after stimulation with cholecystokinin-pancreozymin (CCK) given in either ascending or descending dose orders ranging from 1· 25 to 20 or from 20 to 1· 25 Crick-Harper-Raper units (CHRU). These results were compared with those reported previously for animals fed a stock cube diet. Two experimental conditions were used: anaesthetized animals were tested immediately after cannulation of the pancreatic duct and conscious animals were tested 48 h after surgery. Basal flow was significantly increased in anaesthetized and conscious rats fed RSF compared with the respective animals fed cubes. Mean basal protein output was also increased, but this difference was not significant. The pancreatic response to the ascending and descending doses of CCK in anaesthetized rats fed RSF was linearly related to the log of the dose of CCK in both animals fed RSF and cubes, though the response to CCK was greater in the rats fed RSF. When ascending doses of CCK were given to conscious rats fed RSF, the protein output increased up to 10 CHRU of CCK but was inhibited by 20 CHRU of CCK, whereas it decreased after the first dose of CCK (1·25 CHRU) in animals fed cubes. When descending doses of CCK were given to animals fed RSF, protein output was greatest after the first dose and no simple relationship between dose and response was seen. Compared with rats fed cubes, the pancreas in rats fed RSF thus appears to respond to a given dose of CCK with increased secretion, and conscious animals fed RSF can tolerate a higher dose of CCK before protein output is inhibited. This is consistent with an increased population of acinar cells in the animals fed RSF, with each hypertrophied cell responding to CCK with increased secretion.
