We compared plasma gastrin concentrations in male and female patients with duodenal ulcers because a group in Denmark reported a difference, but two groups in the Far East did not. Median basal gastrin was 23 pmol/l in males compared with 43 pmol/l in females. Median peak postprandial gastrin was 71 pmol/l in males, compared with 142 pmol/l in females (p less than 0.03). Elevated gastrin may reflect diminished sensitivity of parietal cells to gastrin in females.
