Abstract
1. Gastric acid secretion has been studied in the rat before, during and after pregnancy using different types of stomach preparation. During the same periods the histamine-forming capacity (HFC) has been determined in gastric mucosa and mammary gland.2. In rats with a whole stomach fistula interdigestive acid secretion is increased during pregnancy and lactation.3. In rats with a denervated chronic pouch secretory response to stimulation with gastrin and histamine is augmented during pregnancy and lactation.4. The histamine forming capacity (HFC) of the gastric mucosa is increased 2-3 times during the last days of pregnancy and also during lactation.5. The HFC of the mammary gland is increased 2-3 times during lactation as compared with the fully developed gland in pregnancy.
