title: Effect of intrajejunal fat on meal-stimulated acid and gastrin secretion in man.
abstract: The effect of intrajejunal fat infusion on meal-stimulated gastric acid and gastrin secretion was studied in 8 healthy volunteers. Intrajejunal fat significantly reduced the acid response to a meal, measured by intragastric titration, as compared to intrajejunal infusion of saline. While serum gastrin concentrations rose from fasting levels to a constant plateau after the meal when saline was infused, fat infusion resulted in a transitory decrease in serum gastrin concentration followed by a significant increase. It is concluded that inhibition of gastrin release only plays a minor role, if any, in the observed fat-induced jejuanl inhibition of meal-stimulated acid secretion.
