Abstract:
Gastric secretion was studied in 188 fetuses of 28 pregnant dogs near term. Baseline secretory values were determined and gastric secretion was stimulated in additional fetuses with histamine, insulin, or gastrin. A significant increase in volume, acidity and pepsin output was observed in fetuses stimulated during the last week of gestation. Following maternal stimulation the placental transfer of histamine, insulin, and gastrin are demonstrated.
