Abstract
Summary
A method has been devised for making a Heidenhain pouch and 2 separate, marsupialized, antral pouches in the dog. Studies performed on 4 dogs prepared in this way indicate that reduction of pH within one antral pouch will inhibit production of HCl in the Heidenhain pouch when the latter is under stimulation by perfusion of alcohol in the second antral pouch. It is assumed that gastric inhibition produced in this manner demonstrates release of an inhibitory hormone by the antrum; however, this awaits further study for clarification.
