title: [Gastrinemia and basal gastric acid secretion].
abstract: A group of 43 subjects was studied: 22 normal, 6 with gastric ulcers, and 15 with duodenal ulcers. A correlation was made between gastrinemia and basal gastric acid secretion. The findings suggest that the basal gastric secretion does not play an important role in either the basal gastrinemia in normal subjects or in those with gastric ulcers. The correlation was significant and negative between basal gastric secretion and basal gastrinemia in those with duodenal ulcers, which might express differences in the self-regulation of gastrinemia related to antral pH.
