Abstract:
The investigation into the influence of a three-day starvation on the gastric secretion in dogs with Pavlov pouches stimulated by meat, histamine and pentagastrin, was carried out. A 72-hour starvation did not change the summary volume of the gastric juice, debit of the gastric acid, and quantity of pepsin. At the same time the starvation decreased the average rate of gastric juice secretion, gastric acid and pepsin secretion in response to histamine and decreased the pepsin secretion in response to pentagastrin. In this way re-feeding enhanced the average rate of gastric juice secretion and gastric acid secretion on 3-day and pepsin on 5-day in response to meat. The average rate of gastric juice secretion increased on the 5-day after refeeding in response to histamine and the average rate of gastric juice, gastric acid and pepsin secretion in response to pentagastrin.
