The influence of a single intravenous glucose load on maximal gastric acid secretion in 25 healthy men when stimulated with pentagastrin was studied. Under the influence of hyperglycaemia, a highly significant decrease of maximal acid output was found. Moreover, in the gastric juice an increase of chloride and calcium concentrations was noted. On the other hand, the output of potassium, chloride and magnesium was lowered. The above differences were statistically significant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
