The gastric acid response to insulin hypoglycemia represents an effect of several stimulatory
and inhibitory mechanisms. In the intact stomach the direct vagal excitation of the acid …

Animal experiments and clinical observations have demonstrated significant effects of
vagotomy on body weight. Weight loss or inability to regain are partly due to impaired …

Fifty-two patients underwent serial insulin tests in the 1st year after vagotomy. Although all
had given a negative insulin response by the Hollander criteria in the immediate …

The variation in basal acid secretion was determined in 10 patients after resection of the
esophagus, an operation resulting in a total transection of all vagal nerves to the abdomen …

The acid and pepsin responses to insulin stimulation were studied during 22 insulin tests on
21 vagotomized patients. In 9 tests, no rise in acid or pepsin concentration was observed …

Sham feeding is thought to stimulate gastric acid secretion solely via vagal pathways. We
evaluated whether sham feeding can be used as a test for vagotomy. From results in 50 …

Results Table 1 shows the types of acid seeretory responses in terms of the pH curve whieh
were obtained after insulin stimulation in 50 duodenal ulcer patients who had undergone …

Total vagotomy induces multiple alterations in the function of the endocrine pancreas. The
temporal evolution of selected behavioral and pancreatic alterations following …

The inhibitory effect of hypoglycemia on gastric secretion emerges as an important factor in
the interpretation of the acid response to insulin. This inhibition, which does not operate via …

Insulin tests 10 days and 3 months after vagotomy in 47 patients were compared in order to
explain the increase of insulin-activated gastric hydrochloric acid secretion, demonstrated 3 …
