Abstract:
Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) induced in young pigs by pancreatic duct ligation (PDL) early after weaning result in total growth deprivation while it has little effect in somewhat older pigs. The main objective was to study effects of EPI on gut structure and function in littermate pigs underwent to PDL at different age.
