Abstract

Comparative experiments following ingestion of native and modified trypsin and chymotrypsin inhibitor AA from soybeans by quails showed that the trypsin-inhibitory site and not the chymotrypsin-inhibitory site of the inhibitor is responsible for the resulting pancreatic hypertrophy and for increased proteolytic activity of the pancreas.
