RESUMO
1. This study examines the influence of starvation on intestinal CCK content and pancreatic growth. Intestinal CCK content was determined by measuring the CCK-like activity using an in vitro gall-bladder bio-assay. Starvation for up to 72 hr causes a parallel fall in intestinal CCK content and pancreatic DNA synthesis. Since there was no significant decrease in liver DNA synthesis, the effect of starvation was probably not simply a consequence of malnutrition. Furthermore there was little effect of starvation on pancreatic protein and DNA content, suggesting that pancreatic cell turnover is particularly sensitive to changes in dietary stimulation.
