Newborn dogs, humans, and rats have elevated gastric luminal pH values and significantly
elevated serum gastrin levels compared to adults. In the adult, acidification of the antral …

Our previous report showed gastric mucosal surface pH was determined by alkali secretion
at intragastric luminal pH 3 but by acid secretion at intragastric pH 5. Here, we question …

Pancreastatin, a new 49-amino acid peptide, has recently been isolated and characterized
from extracts of the porcine pancreas. The objective of the present study was to examine the …

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) secretion by the gastric parietal cell is controlled by a complex
interplay of neural, paracrine and endocrine pathways with peptides in the central nervous …

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of atropine with those of placebo and
pirenzepine on food-induced gastrin release, and gastric and acid secretion. Three groups …

The gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) is the main hormone of the incretin type acting on the
entero-insular axis. It is released after fat, glucose or meal ingestion. The variations of this …

Significant species differences have been demonstrated in gastric physiology, a factor that
limits extrapolation of animal data to man. Primate physiology is thought to be similar to that …

The apparent detection of chemically characterized peptides in the circulation by
radioimmunoassay has re-emphasised that criteria must be defined which enable us to …

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of perfusion of the colon with a fatty acid
(oleic acid) on peptone-stimulated gastric acid secretion and release of gastrin in conscious …

Mifentidine is a new H 2-receptor antagonist with distinct characteristics of potency and long
plasma half-life. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of mifentidine on peptone …
