Role of gastrointestinal hormones in the response to massive resection of the small bowel.

Hypersecretion of gastric acid and accelerated intestinal transit are largely unexplained consequences of massive resection of the small bowel; several postulated humoral mechanisms remain unsubstantiated. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of 75% resection of the distal small bowel in dogs on circulating levels of a range of gastrointestinal hormones. Basal and meal-stimul...
