Summary
The output of hydrochloric acid in the 12-hour nocturnal gastric secretion of 10 patients with peptic ulcer, following the intramuscular injection of 20 cc of a sterile lactalbumin solution, was unchanged in 3 cases, decreased slightly in 1 and increased in 6 patients. These results suggest that the temporary reduction in gastric secretion occasionally observed during the administration of enterogastrone is not attributable to a nonspecific action of the proteins present in the concentrate.
