[The effect of antrectomy or total gastrectomy on calcium-induced gastrin secretion and gastrin release in man (author's transl)]. 1977

A Schafmayer, and H W Börger, and T Stuhler, and R Siewert, and H D Becker

The effect of induced hypercalcemia on serum gastrin concentrations, measured by radioimmunoassay, and gastric acid secretion was studied in 20 healthy subjects, 8 patients after antrectomy and gastroduodenostomy (Billroth I), 12 patients after antrectomy and gastrojejunostomy (Billroth II) and in 9 patients after total gastrectomy and esophagojejunostomy. In normal man calcium stimulates gastric secretion and gastrin release. After antrectomy gastric secretion is still stimulated by calcium without changing serum gastrin levels. After total gastrectomy basal serum gastrin concentration is further reduced; calcium does not liberate gastrin. These results show that calcium-induced gastric secretion is caused by direct action at the parietal cell level besides the gastrin release from the antrum. In man, extra antral gastrin cannot be released by induced hypercalcemia.

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
