Abstract
Conclusions
1) Duration of inhibition of gastric motility varies directly with volume and concentration of HCl solutions introduced into the duodenum. 0.075 N HCl produces definitely shorter inhibition than was previously found with equal volumes of 0.1 N HCl. When concentration of HCl is reduced to 0.01 N and volume reduced to 25 cc, the inhibitory period is very brief, lasting only 3 minutes. 2. In 3 patients with complete histamine achlorhydria, the inhibitory effect of intraduodenal acid on gastric motility was the same as that in individuals with normal gastric secretion.
