Pancreas and the parotid gland are digestive secretory organs with similar histologic structure and function. It can be estimated that affection of one organ cause compensatory, adaptive or destructive changes in its analogous organ.Comparative histologic examination and measurement of amylase in the pancreas and the parotid gland were made in thirteen rats of control group and in a group of eight rats with experimental production of acute pancreatitis. The results are summarized as follows.1. Histologically, grade of findings of acute pancreatitis in the pancreas well correlated to the atrophic changes of the parotid gland.2. Comparing amylase value between the control group and the acute pancreatitis group, the latter apparently showed lower value of both the pancreas and the parotid gland. Lowering rate of amylase value was remarkable in the pancreas, while it was moderare in the parotid gland.3. In conclusion, the present experiment has demonstrated that the experimental roduction of acute pancreatitis also causes atrophic changes and hypofunction of the parotid gland.
