Abstract
1 Gastric mucosal blood flow was studied in the rat by means of a [14C]-aniline clearance technique. 2 There was a significant correlation between clearance and stimulated acid secretion. 3 No significant difference was found in the relationship between clearance and acid secretion during submaximal stimulation with either pentagastrin or histamine. 4 Estimates of mucosal blood flow per unit acid secretion by [14C]-aniline clearance in the rat were similar to those reported with aminopyrine clearance in the dog and cat.
