Luminal proteolytic activity (PA) of different colonic segments was ascertained in animals subjected to pancreatic duct ligation (PDL) and in control rats. The PDL rats revealed a significant PA reduction in the cecum, proximal colon (P < 0.01), and distal colon (P < 0.005). Proteolytic activity, trypsin, and chymotrypsin activity in control rats diminished progressively from the cecum to the distal colon. Conversely in PDL rats, we found maximal PA in distal colon. The conclusion is drawn that a significant proportion of colonic proteolytic activity can be attributed to pancreatic proteases with a maximal contribution at cecum level.

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.
