Description:

The correlation between serum gastrin levels and gastric acid secretion during 4 weeks of cimetidine administration (once daily) was investigated. Serum gastrin levels and gastric acid secretion were estimated on the 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th day after cimetidine administration (25 mg.kg'1, intragastrically). At the mentioned time intervals gastric acid secretion stimulated by histamine and pentagastrin was also studied. It was found that on the 14th and 21th day after cimetidine administration serum gastrin levels were significantly elevated. Basal gastric acid secretion after cimetidine administration was significantly decreased at all the observed time intervals. Histamine-stimulated gastric acid secretion was increased on the 14th, 21st and 28th day after cimetidine administration Hypoacidity was not followed at all time intervals by hypergastrinaemia (only on day 14 and 21 after cimetidine).
