Abstract
Summary
Ligation of the pancreatic ducts in dogs resulted in the increase of the alkaline serum phosphatase in 7 out of 10 animals. The values reach their peak between the 4th and the 10th day after the operation and remain high between the 10th and 20th day after the occlusion of the ducts. They are 6 to 8 times higher than the values before the operation. The 3 dogs which showed a moderate increase of alkaline serum phosphatase died within 24 to 72 hours after the operation had been done.
Acid serum phosphatase is not influenced by the ligation of the pancreatic ducts.
