We examined the effects of plasma pH and plasma HCO-3 concentration on pancreatic HCO-3 secretion in resting state and in stimulated state by secretin, pancreozymin or dopamine, using the isolated blood-perfused dog pancreas. Secretin- or pancreozymin-induced HCO-3 secretion was sensitive to changes in both plasma pH and HCO-3 concentration. On the other hand, neither plasma pH nor plasma HCO-3 concentration affected dopamine-induced HCO-3 secretion and spontaneous HCO-3 secretion. These results suggest that secretin- or pancreozymin-induced pancreatic HCO-3 secretion is induced by the active H+-pump, but dopamine-induced or spontaneous pancreatic HCO-3 secretion may be caused by different mechanisms.
