OBJECTIVE To know the effect of cysteamine on the pancreatic secretion and enzyme activity in geese. METHODS Eight adult geese fitted chronic pancreatic and duodenal cannulas were used to evaluate the effect of cysteamine (CS) on the pancreatic secretion and enzyme activity. The experiment was consist of control and treated phase. CS was added in the diet at the dosage of 100 mg/kg bw on the first day of treated phase. The birds were free fed at daytime (8:00-20:00) and fasted at nighttime (20:00-8:00). The pancreatic juice samples were collected continuously for three days in each phase. RESULTS CS increased the average rate of pancreatic secretion by 240.16% (P < 0.01), in which that of daytime was elevated by 234.45% (P < 0.01), while that of nighttime elevated by 253.70% (P < 0.01). The secretion volume at daytime was more than that of night. CS increased trypsin activity by 49.05% (P < 0.01), whereas lipase and amylase activity was reduced by 25.44% (P < 0.01) and 21.95% (P < 0.01) separately. The one hour total activity of trypsin, lipase and amylase were elevated by 406.88% (P < 0.01), 153.58% (P < 0.01) and 166.59% (P < 0.01) respectively. Ratios of pancreatic secretion were different between day and night. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that CS can affect the pancreatic juice secretion and pancreatic enzyme activity by depleting the somatostatin, so that benefits to improve the digestive foundation and supply more nutrition for quickly growing in geese.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010179	Pancreas	A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.
D010189	Pancreatic Juice	The fluid containing digestive enzymes secreted by the pancreas in response to food in the duodenum.	Juice, Pancreatic,Juices, Pancreatic,Pancreatic Juices
D010194	Pancreatin	A mammalian pancreatic extract composed of enzymes with protease, amylase and lipase activities. It is used as a digestant in pancreatic malfunction.	Panteric,Panzytrat
D003543	Cysteamine	A mercaptoethylamine compound that is endogenously derived from the COENZYME A degradative pathway. The fact that cysteamine is readily transported into LYSOSOMES where it reacts with CYSTINE to form cysteine-cysteamine disulfide and CYSTEINE has led to its use in CYSTINE DEPLETING AGENTS for the treatment of CYSTINOSIS.

D005777	Geese	Any of various large waterfowl in the order Anseriformes, especially those of the genera Anser (gray geese) and Branta (black geese). They are larger than ducks but smaller than swans, prefer FRESH WATER, and occur primarily in the northern hemisphere.	Goose,Gooses
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
