Parotid and pancreatic amylase secretion into the gastrointestinal tract during feeding was investigated in diabetic rats. In control rats, both parotid and pancreatic amylase activity decreased after feeding, while the amylase activity present in the gastric and small intestinal contents increased. In diabetic rats, parotid amylase activity, although reduced from control levels, decreased after feeding, and amylase activity of the parotid type appeared in the gastric content. Amylase activities in the diabetic pancreas and small intestinal contents at fasting were markedly reduced and did not show appreciable change with feeding. The total amylase activity in the small intestinal contents after feeding was markedly reduced in the diabetic rats, whereas the ratio of parotid to pancreatic amylase was markedly increased. These results suggest that the amylase secreted from the parotid glands into the gastrointestinal tract during feeding acts not only in the mouth and stomach but also in the small intestine of diabetic rats.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D008297 Male Males
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.
