Such studies on gastric secretory function have been concerned almost entirely with the measurements of the response to a stimulus in the form of some type of a test meal or, more recently, to the injection of histamine. The response is determined by the amount of acid, of chloride and of pepsin recovered in the stomach contents. The widely divergent results of these observations have naturally...Bibliography1.
