Review Article attempts to summarize a defined area of knowledge, based on an exhaustive compilation and analysis of the available literature. The review should attempt to answer important questions that are not clearly answered

24、Growth in Rats. Pleasesee the reviewers comments below.Referee 1 Comments: Major Comments:1. It is unclear what this study adds to our knowledge. As the authors mention, it was previously reported that ablation of vagal nerves or atropine treatment did not prevent CCK mediated increases in pancreati

25、c growth (Nylander et al. 1997). Furthermore, direct trophic effects of CCK on pancreatic cells have been reported in vitro (this relevant literature was not cited). Thus, the current study is primarily confirmatory.2. The authors do not discuss the potential relevance of this data to humans. The la

26、ck of CCKA receptors on human pancreatic acinar cells suggests that this direct trophic mechanism is specific to rodents. Referee 2 Comments:The manuscript describes studies involved three important topics: the mechanisms and site of action of CCK on pancreatic enzyme secretion, pancreatic growth, a

27、nd the role of the vagal afferent in the regulation of CCK release. The data presented in this paper demonstrated that CCK stimulates pancreatic enzyme secretion via a capsaicin-sensitive vagal afferent pathway, and CCK exerts pancreatic growth effect on the pancreas directly. However, these observa

28、tions have been well demonstrated in previous publications. I am puzzled by the data presented in this paper indicating the increase of plasma CCK concentrations in the rats after perivagal capsaicin treatment. The background and the rational of this study have not been clearly described. The interp

29、retation of the data seems muddled.
