title: Congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis: A gastrin hypothesis pursued.
abstract: Pentagastrin and acetyl choline were shown to contract isolated strips of the circular pyloric muscle from baboons. These findings are compatible with the hypothesis that gastrin may have a part to play in the development or maintenance of congenital hypertrophiic pyloric stenosis of infancy.
