| pancreatic diarrhoea | Diarrhoea characterised by severe, watery, secretory diarrhoea and hyperkalaemia; most patients have hypercalcaemia, many have hyperglycaemia; results from excessive secretion of VIP (vasoactive intestinal peptide) by an islet cell tumour of the pancreas. Sometimes called WDHA syndrome. See: Verner-Morrison syndrome, WDHA syndrome. Synonym: pancreatic cholera, pancreatic diarrhoea. (05 Mar 2000) |

| pancreatic digestion | Digestion in the intestine by the enzymes of the pancreatic juice. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pancreatic diverticula | The ventral and dorsal endodermal buds from the embryonic foregut that constitute the primordia of the parenchyma of the pancreas. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pancreatic dornase | A stabilised deoxyribonuclease preparation from beef pancreas; used by inhalation in the form of aerosols to reduce thick mucopurulent secretions in certain bronchopulmonary infections. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pancreatic duct | The excretory duct of the pancreas that extends through the gland from tail to head where it empties into the duodenum at the greater duodenal papilla. Synonym: ductus pancreaticus, Hoffmann's duct, Wirsung's canal, Wirsung's duct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pancreatic encephalopathy | A metabolic encephalopathy associated with extensive pancreatic necrosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pancreatic enzyme | <biochemistry> One of the proteins made by the pancreas that aid digestion of fats, carbohydrates and proteins. (09 Oct 1997) |
| pancreatic extracts | Extracts prepared from pancreatic tissue that may contain the pancreatic enzymes or other specific uncharacterised factors or proteins with specific activities. Pancreatin is a specific extract containing digestive enzymes and used to treat pancreatic insufficiency. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pancreatic fistula | Abnormal passage communicating with the pancreas. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pancreatic function tests | Tests based on the biochemistry and physiology of the exocrine pancreas and involving analysis of blood, duodenal contents, feces, or urine for products of pancreatic secretion. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pancreatic hormones | Peptide hormones secreted into the blood by cells in the islets of langerhans of the pancreas. The alpha cells secrete glucagon; the beta cells secrete insulin; the delta cells secrete somatostatin; and the pp cells secrete pancreatic polypeptide. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pancreatic hyperglycaemic hormone | A polypeptide hormone (3485 D) secreted by the cells of the Islets of Langerhans in response to a fall in blood sugar levels. Induces hyperglycaemia. A family of structurally related peptides includes glucagon like peptides 1 & 2 (encoded by the same gene), gastric inhibitory polypeptide, secretin, vasoactive intestinal peptide, growth hormone releasing factor, pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide, exendins. (18 Nov 1997) |
| pancreatic infantilism | Infantilism associated with deficiency or absence of pancreatic secretion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pancreatic insufficiency | Not enough of the digestive enzymes normally secreted by the pancreas into the intestine. Pancreatic insufficiency is a hallmark of cystic fibrosis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pancreatic islands | <anatomy> Groups of cells found within the pancreas: A cells and B-cells secrete insulin and glucagon. See: D cells. (18 Nov 1997) |
| trypsin inhibitor, kazal pancreatic | <chemical> A pancreatic trypsin inhibitor common to all mammals. It is secreted with the zymogens into the pancreatic juice. It is a protein composed of 56 amino acid residues and is different in amino acid composition and physiological activity from the kunitz bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (aprotinin). Chemical name: Trypsin inhibitor, pancreatic secretory (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| exocrine pancreatic insufficiency | Lack of exocrine secretions of pancreas, due to destruction of acini, usually by chronic pancreatitis; lack of digestive enzymes from pancreas results in diarrhoea, usually fatty (steatorrhoea) because of lack of pancreatic enzymes. (05 Mar 2000) |

| pancreatic polypeptide |
a hormone (4200 daltons, 36 amino acids) secreted by special endocrine cells in the periphery of some pancreatic islets, the exocrine pancreas, and the intestine; it inhibits pancreatic enzyme secretion and gallbladder contraction, but its physiologic role has not been identified.

| pancreatic lipase |
the triacylglycerol lipase secreted by the pancreas; it is the major intestinal lipase, digesting ingested fats to fatty acids and monoglycerides. The enzyme requires bile salts and colipase for activity.

| pancreatic lipase |
Pancreatic lipase is an enzyme (more specifically, a lipase) secreted from the pancreas that uses hydrolysis to break apart fat molecules. Bile salts secreted from the gallbladder are released into the duodenum where they coat fat droplets. Because the droplets are small, their surface area is greater, allowing the lipase to break apart the fat more effectively. ...
