Abstract
Selective dietary protein deprivation led to impaired pentagastrin stimulated gastric acid secretion in rats but was not simply due to lower body weights in the experimental group. This may be a significant pathophysiological factor in clinical malnutrition because of reduction of gastric acid control over bacterial populations in upper intestinal secretions.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
