Abstract

Intraduodenal instillation of hypertonic glucose significantly inhibited tetragastrin-induced gastric acid and pepsin outputs in man. The secretory volume of gastric juice was markedly decreased, whereas, acid concentration remained unchanged. Pepsin concentration, on the contrary, was reduced significantly. The degree of inhibition of pepsin output, therefore, was greater than that of acid output. No significant difference in the extent of inhibition of acid or pepsin output was observed between control subjects and patients with duodenal ulcer.
