The parietal cell is capable of secreting high concentrations of hydrochloric acid into the
lumen of the stomach. The apical membrane of this cell contains K+ H+ ATPase, which is …

The primal need for nutrients is satisfied by mechanisms for sensing internal stores and
detecting food; ATP is the most primitive signal. With increasing density of sensory neurons …

Many biological functions follow circadian rhythms driven by internal and external cues that
synchronize and coordinate organ physiology to diurnal changes in the environment and …

Gastro esophageal reflux disease and ulcer related or non-ulcer dyspepsia, attacks 20% of
the Western population. These millions of patients are treated continuously with PPI for …

The effect of a meat load on the renal handling of acid-base balance was studied in ten
healthy subjects (GFR by inulin clearance= 98.5+/-8.14 ml. min-1.1. 73 m-2) and in ten …

To determine the physiology of acid secretion after gastrocystoplasty with the body of the
stomach we performed a prospective standardized 3-day study in 13 children (median age …

The gastrointestinal tract plays an integral, though not obvious role in acid balance. Under
normal circumstances, greater than 1000mEq of Hþ and HCO3 À are absorbed and …

The concept of an alkaline tide which compensates for gastric acid secretion suggests the
possibility of indirect measurement of gastric acid secretion. This study was designed to …

Objective: Alkaline tide is the observed alkalinization of blood and urine after stimulation of
gastric acid secretion, in previous studies, we found good correlation between gastric acid …

Acid inhibition after proton pump inhibitors in children is variable, and to measure it by a
noninvasive method may help to tailor treatment. To study gastric acid inhibition after a …
