The effect of metramide on the prolonged serum gastrin response to feeding observed in patients with duodenal ulcer. 1976

E L Blair, and E R Grund, and J D Reed, and D J Sanders, and M H Thompson, and C W Venables

The response of serum gastrin to a meal has been studied in 11 normal subjects and 16 patients with duodenal ulceration. The mean serum gastrin concentration rises after a meal to similar peak values in both normal subjects and duodenal ulcer patients, and fall to basal values with 3 hours in normal subjects. In duodenal ulcer patients the peak concentration is sustained throughout the 3 hour test period, and this response is not affected by the administration of Metiamide. It is concluded that the control of gastrin release is defective in duodenal ulceration, and this may be due to a failure of the antral pH feedback mechanism. Gastrin may be a primary pathogenetic factor in duodenal ulceration.

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.
