The effects of carbamylcholine (CCH, 100 mug per hr) and of atropine (0.25, 1.0, and 10.0 mg per hr) on the response of the exocrine pancreas to secretin (0.1, 0.5, and 5.0 clinic units per hr) were studied using the isolated canine pancreas perfused with whole heparin-treated blood. CCH induced a sharp decrease in D50 (dose of secretin which elicits half the calculated maximal response) but no increase in maximal response to secretin. Experiments performed under different haemodynamic conditions show that this potentiating effect (synergism) is partly due to vasomotor modifications and chiefly to the action of CCH on the receptor of secretin. Although this work indicates that cholinergic tone is not necessary for secretin-induced hydrelatic response to occur, it evidences that this cholinergic tone plays a major role in modulating the pancreatic response to submaximal doses of secretin. It has also been found that large doses of atropine (10 mg per hr) were necessary to achieve a complete inhibition of enzymatic response to CCH. Even at these high doses, however, enzymatic response to secretin and cholecystokinin-pancreozymin were not significantly inhibited.
