Basal and pentagastrin stimulated acid secretion in duodenal ulcer subjects before and after Helicobacter pylori eradication: a 12-month follow-up study.
Ital J Gastroenterol Hepatol. 1998; (4): 363-7
The effect of infection by Helicobacter pylori on gastric physiology in duodenal ulcer subjects is controversial. There is evidence that the infection is associated with abnormalities in gastrin homeostasis. Consistent changes in pentagastrin-stimulated acid secretory status have proved difficult to establish. This may be because patients have been studied too soon after Helicobacter pylori eradication.
