[Chlorhydropeptic inhibition with atropine during stimulation with pentagastrin. A possibility of selective evaluation of gastric secretive function]. / L'inhibizione cloridropeptica da atropina in corso di stimolazione con pentagastrina. Una possibilità di valutazione selettiva della funzione secretiva gastrica.

Basal secretion and the acidity peak have been evaluated in ulcerous patients during pentagastrinic stimulation and during atropinic inhibition, on the basis of the observations of Schofield et al. and in relation to the need to achieve correct identification and quantification of hydrochloric acid gastric secretive function. The results obtained with this technique suggest the possibility of a selective evaluation of the secretive function of oxyntic cells. This is extremely interesting because it opens the way to the most suitable surgical techniques for the treatment of ulcers.
