چکیده

Basal serum gastrin in 40 patients with benign gastric ulcer was 103 +/- 10.7 pg/ml, a level significantly higher than corresponding estimations in normal subjects and patients with duodenal ulcer. Following stimulation by a protein meal, a mean rise of 124 pg/ml was achieved at 75 minutes and prior atropinization induced a rise of 208 pg/ml at 90 minutes. Insulin hypoglycaemia produced a rise of 63 pg/ml which was not significantly changed with concomitant neutralization of gastric contents. These results suggest that patients with gastric ulcer have higher basal gastrin levels than normal and this is probably related to the lowered antral acidity. In addition, the protein meal and insulin hypoglycaemia responses suggest an increased antral G cell mass and the possibility of additional gastrin release from sites outside the antrum. It is doubtful whether the relative hypergastrinaemia has an aetiological role in gastric ulcer but it may have a role in the maintenance of gastric ulcer.

بررسی ارتباط تغییرات سطح سرمی گاسترین با ریشه کنی هلیکوباکترپیلوری

Background and purpose: H. pylori infection in the stomach is the first major cause of gastritis and peptic ulcer disease and gastric adenocarcinoma and lymphoma (MALT). Evaluation of the infection eradication is important. H. pylori infection is associated with gastric glands dysfunction such as increased serum gastrin and increased secretion of Pepsinogen. In recent years, the measurement ...

Effect of proximal gastric vagotomy on gastric acid secretion and plasma gastrin.

Sixteen patients underwent proximal gastric vagotomy (highly selective vagotomy) for chronic duodenal ulceration. All were subjected to preoperative and postoperative acid secretion studies. A reduction in the secretory response to pentagastrin and abolition of the response to meat extract occurred postoperatively. Plasma gastrin levels in response to meat extract were studied by radioimmunoass...

Effect of esophagus distension on gastric blood flow, gastrin and somatostatin secretion in rat

Abstract Introduction: There are many studies about the inhibitory effect of the esophageal distention (ED) on gastric motility. Recently, it has been shown that ED decreases the gastric secretions. It is well established that the inhibitory effect of ED is mediated by activation of vago-vagal inhibitory reflex. However, there is not any investigation about the effect of the reflex on the gast...

Gastric ulcers with and without associated duodenal ulcer have different pathophysiology.

1. Maximal acid output after pentagastrin stimulation, and fasting and postprandial serum gastrin concentrations were determined in 25 normal subjects, 30 patients with corpus gastric ulcers, 10 patients with prepyloric ulcers and 30 patients with both duodenal and gastric ulcers. 2. Corpus ulcers and prepyloric ulcers formed one distinct group. Maximal acid output was abnormally low in the cor...

Effect of Proximal Gastric Vagotomy

Methods We calculated gastric HCO3 and H+ secretion, as well as nonparietal and parietal volume secretion, in 15 duodenal ulcer patients who had previously undergone successful proximal gastric vagotomy, 15 unoperated duodenal ulcer patients, and 15 normal control subjects. Basal HCO3secretion was not significantly altered after vagotomy, while basal H+ secretion, parietal volume and nonparieta...
