A controlled trial of glucagon in experimental pancreatitis

This study was designed to assess the value of glucagon infusion in pigs with experimental pancreatitis. The condition was induced by injection of bile into the pancreatic duct directly after intravenous injection of secref in. Macroscopic haemorrhagic panereatitis ensued immediately, and was accompanied by a rise in the serum amylase of five to ten times.
