At large, it is accepted that pancreatic ductssecrete isotonic NaHCO3 rich fluid. However, the concentrationof HCO− is not constant; it decreases with secretory rates—a pattern that is mirrored by Cl−. The HCO− excretory pat- terns are remarkably similar between various species, providingthat secretory rates are corrected for the duct mass In early studies it was proposedthat pancreatic secretion and ionic composition is a two stageprocess—primary secretion and ductal modification, the so calledadmixture hypothesis. Another, the exchange theory, also namedthe salvage mechanism, states that at lower secretory rates duc-tal transporters are presumably not saturated and therefore, are FIGURE 1 HCO− and H+ transport in gastric cells (A) and pancreatic

Acid-base transport in pancreas It is relevant to ask whether TMEM16A and/or Ca2+ signal- ing pathways lead to HCO− secretion.

These receptors regulate pancreatic isoforms that enhance CFTR activity [see duct ion transport, mucin secretion, and survival of fibrogenic )].
