Pancreatic juice is a juice produced by the pancreas. It contains a variety of enzymes. They include trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, pancreatic lipase, and amylase. Pancreatic juice is alkaline in nature due to the high concentration of bicarbonate ions. This is useful in neutralizing the acidic gastric juice, allowing for effective enzymic action. Pancreatic juice secretion is regulated by the hormone secretin, which is released by the duodenum upon detection of proteins and fats.
