Abstract: | Antrectomy causes a sudden and lasting depression of reflex secretion of the gastric fundal glands in response to insulin hypoglycemia in dogs. The reduction in the secretion of acid and pepsin is on average twice that observed after histamine stimulation. A tendency for the indices of secretion to recover is observed after 3–5 months, and during the next 7 months secretion is maintained at a constant level.Department of Operative Surgery, Stavropol' Medical Institute.
