Abstract
The catabolism of the 14C-labelled pentagastrin was investigated in rats. The following results were found: -- the labelled BOC-glycine fragment is split off the pentagastrin in the small intestine -- it is absorbed through the intestinal wall, and -- enters first the portal and then the systemic circulation.
