[Secretion of pancreatic polypeptide in cats in response to different stimuli; correlation with gastric acid secretion].

The pancreatic polypeptide response to a meal depends on various mechanisms, which are only partly understood. The aim of this study was to define whether humoral factors and nutrients which modulate postprandial gastric acid secretion play a role in the regulation of pancreatic polypeptide secretion. Our study was performed in the cat, a species in which pancreatic polypeptide release has never been explored.
