“…The involvement of cyclic nucleotides in this process is still controversial, however the bulk of evidence suggests that cyclic adenosine-3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) is not involved in either acetylcholine or pancreozymin-stimulated enzyme secretion (Benz, Eckstein, Matthews & Williams, 1972;Case & Scratcherd, 1972;Heisler et al, 1972). It has been suggested that cyclic GMP mediates the effects of acetylcholine in some tissues (Goldberg, O'Dea & Haddox, 1973) including the exocrine pancreas (Robberecht, Deschodt-Lanckman, De Neef, Borgeat & Christophe, 1974) but the evidence that this nucleotide plays a role in secretion from this tissue is preliminary. Heisler et al (1972) reported that dibutyryl cyclic AMP was itself a poor secretagogue in the rat exocrine pancreas but that it potentiated the secretory effect of carbachol.…”
