Abstract

The present study evaluates the serum concentration of pancreatic polypeptide (PP) in normal male and female subjects of different ages (ranging from 20 to 69) and also in patients with peptic ulcers. The PP level rose with age and was higher in the male subjects (from the age of 30). Serum levels of the peptide in patients with gastric or duodenal ulcers were not significantly different from the normal subjects (age and sex matched with the diseased groups).
