Acid response to sham feeding as a test for completeness of vagotomy. 1980

O Kronborg, and D Andersen

The reproducibility of acid responses to modified sham feeding by the chew-and-spit technique (PAOsh) was investigated in 21 duodenal ulcer (DU) patients 8 to 14 days after vagotomy. Possible relationships between PAOsh and the acid response to 0.2 U of insulin per kilogram body weight were examined (PAOI) in 23 other DU patients 8 to 14 days after vagotomy. PAOsh was reproducible to a high degree (PSpearman less than 0.001, CV 2.9%), and a highly significant relationship was found between PAOsh and PAOI after vagotomy (PSp less than 0.001). PAOsh and PAOI were similar when PAOI was low, whereas a highly incomplete vagotomy according to PAOI was followed by a somewhat lower, but substantial, acid response to sham feeding. The relationship between PAOsh and PAOI permits the recommendation of modified sham feeding as a safe stimulant of acid secretion in quantitative testing of completeness of vagotomy.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007328	Insulin	A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).
