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 …

Sham feeding augments gastric acid secretion by activating efferent vagal pathways to the
stomach. If increased vagal activity in the basal state were the cause of increased basal acid …

The reproducibility of acid responses to modified sham feeding by the chew-and-spit
technique (PAOsh) was investigated in 21 duodenal ulcer (DU) patients 8 to 14 days after …

Peak acid output in response to sham feeding and changes in urine acid output 2 and 3
hours after a test meal have been measured in 20 normal volunteers, 17 asymptomatic …

We studied effects of selective proximal vagotomy on food-stimulated acid secretion and
gastrin release in 7 duodenal ulcer patients. Food-stimulated acid secretion was evaluated …

Knutson, U. & Olbe, L. Gastric acid response to sham feeding in the duodenal ulcer patient.
Scand. J. Gastroent. 1973, 8, 513-522. A sham feeding technique has been evolved in …

Various laboratory procedures for the evaluation of gastric function as an index of the
completeness of vagotomy were reviewed. The Hollander test is presently the only method …

Plasma gastrin concentrations and gastric acid output after modified sham feeding were
determined in 20 duodenal ulcer patients. Sham feeding produced an acid response …

Although vagotomy has proved an effective treatment for duodenal ulcer, the majority of
surgeons are reluctant to employ this procedure because of its undesirable side effects. We …

We studied the effect of vagal stimulation by sham feeding on gastric emptying in normal
human subjects. When a saline test meal was infused into the stomach, simultaneous sham …
