title: Influence of the proximal small intestine on the gastric hypersecretion in pylorus-ligated rats.
abstract: The mechanism of the gastric secretory inhibition caused by the simultaneous ligation of the upper and lower duodenum or the jejunum in pylorus-ligated rats was studied. The data obtained from the experiments on surgical manipulation of the small intestine indicated that the absorption of certain substances appeared to be important in maintaining gastric secretion of pylorus-ligated rats. The participation of biliary secretion was negligible, while the ligation procedure per se, which results in the accumulation of duodenal contents, might be partly involved in the mechanism of acid secretion. Pharmacological techniques suggested that the inhibition appeared to be independent of cholinergic nervous reflex and hormonal influence, which is assumed to be released by intestinal acidification.
