Exocrine secretion of the pancreas and enzymes in the lymph after administration of a combination of courmarin and rutin sulphate.

The effect of Venalot, a combination of coumarin and rutin sulphate, on stimulated exocrine secretion of the pancreas and on changes of pancreatic enzymes in thoracic duct lymph was studied in 10 subjects with normal function of the pancreas. Venalot has no direct effect on the exocrine function of the pancreas. Following administration of the compound, the amylase and lipase activity in thoracic duct lymph increases temporarily, probably as a consequence of outflow from the interstitial liquid of the pancreas.

Effect of acute ethanol administration on the thoracic duct lymph flow in man.

In 17 patients the thoracic duct was cannulated and the lymph continuously collected. Thoracic duct lymph flow and the concentration of total protein in the lymph and blood serum were repeatedly measured for 6 hours. Group I (9 subjects) received 0.7 g/kg of oral ethanol in the form of 40% solution, group II (8 subjects) an intravenous infusion of 0.75 g/kg of ethanol. Oral but not intravenous administration of ethanol significantly increased the thoracic duct lymph flow. Lymph total protein significantly decreased in group I only.
