SUMMARY

A procedure for the almost quantitative collection of rat pancreatic secretion formed during a given period is described. Its enzyme content has been followed indirectly in terms of protein, as measured by absorption at 278 mμ.

As in other species, basal protein output normally decreases for several hours after the operation, but if the rat is anaesthetized 3–4 hr. before the operation, the protein output remains steady.

A procedure is proposed for the assay of pancreozymin, or secretin and pancreozymin simultaneously.
