Experiments on the relationship of the neurohypophysis to gastric secretion

  • Published:
The American Journal of Digestive Diseases

Conclusions

  1. (1)

    Studies on gastric secretory response to histamine and food on Pavlov pouch dogs with practically complete dysfunction of the posterior pituitary showed no alteration in the acidity of the gastric juice. There was a decrease in volume which was probably caused by the mild dehydration occurring in these polyuric animals during the three hour test period.

  2. (2)

    The injection of Pitressin tannate into normal pouch dogs produces no alteration in either volume or acidity; after pituitary stalk section the injection of this drug tends to raise the volume towards the normal secretory level without altering the acidity.
