Medically reviewed by Jonathan B. Jassey, DO Pancreas divisum is the most common pancreatic disorder that develops before birth. This congenital condition affects less than 10% of people, but only ...

The pancreas is a six-inch-long gland in your abdomen near your liver and small intestine. It controls important hormone and enzyme secretion. Without it, your body can’t properly operate many ...

The pancreas is a gland organ in the abdomen. It forms part of the digestive system. It produces insulin and secretes fluid that helps break down food. Problems with the pancreas can lead to ...

Osaka University-led research revealed contrasting roles for the SNAP23 protein in pancreatic secretion of digestive enzymes and hormones such as insulin. Inhibiting SNAP23 with a potential new ...

Our transplant service is beginning a simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant program. How should we handle the exocrine secretion of pancreas, bladder, or ileoduodenal link?

Ligation of pancreatic ducts has been shown to be associated with an increase in gastric secretion from the isolated, denervated gastric pouch (Heidenhain) of the dog. 5 This occurs after surgical ...

“Fatty pancreas is associated with insulin resistance and increased insulin secretion cross-sectionally in nondiabetic individuals and is more prevalent in type 2 diabetes,” Richard E. Pratley ...

The pancreas secretes pancreatic enzymes, which flow through the pancreatic ducts to the duodenum. These pancreatic juices also help aid digestion by breaking down fats, proteins, and ...

Pancreatic carcinoma being a ductal disease, sheddering tumour cells with physiological pancreatic secretions into the accessible duodenum has inspired cytology-based diagnostic concepts for ...

Movement of secretory molecules, such as hormones and digestive enzymes, out of the cell is known as exocytosis. This process is guided by SNARE proteins, which help the fusion of secretory ...
