Quantitative Study of Effect of Antrum Resection on Gastric Secretion in Pavlov Pouch Dogs.

Abstract

The gastric secretion from four Pavlov pouch dogs was collected quantitatively for periods of 16-29 days. After the antrum of the stomach was resected the vol. of secretion was reduced by 50-80%, and the output of HCl was drastically reduced. These data indicate that the antrum is important in the chemical or hormone phase of gastric secretion and support Edkins'' hypothesis.
