title: [Role of gastrin in duodenal mechanisms of inhibition of gastric secretion in the dog and man].
abstract: Gastrin serum levels after acidification of the second portion of the duodenum were studied, in dogs and humans, while simultaneously measuring secretin levels and gastric acid secretion. After duodenal acidification in dogs, a 50% inhibition of gastric acid secretion with parallel 100% increases in the serum secretin levels was noted whereas gastrin serum levels did not change (after duodenal acidification). In humans, a 25% inhibition of gastric acid secretion with parallel 50% (not significative) increases in the secretin serum levels was noted. In the entire group gastrin levels did not change, but in 35.2% of the subjects a little increment without statistical significance was noted. It is concluded that the inhibition mechanism of gastric acid secretion after duodenal acidification is more important in dog than in man, and that, probably, gastrin does not play an important role in this mechanism.
