Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does pancreatic growth after pancreatico-biliary diversion increase the capacity to secrete amylase?
Answer: PBD evoked hyperplastic changes in the rat pancreas and decreased the concentrations of amylase, trypsin and lipase. However, the capacity of acinar cells to secrete amylase remained intact. The stimulated pancreatic secretion was not changed in volume, but the output of amylase was low in PBD-operated rats. The findings are consistent with the idea that the enlargement of the pancreas following PBD does not improve the secretory capacity.
Output (English): no
