The effect of distension of the fundus and body of the stomach on gastric acid secretion was studied in 26 patients with duodenal ulcer and 6 healthy subjects. Graded distension produced by inflating a rubber balloon to volumes of 150, 300 and 600 ml resulted in significant sequential increments of acid output. The secretory response outlasted stimulation by at least 1 h. In both groups of subjects, the highest acid output obtainable with fundic distension amounted to just above 50% of the maximum secretory response evoked by i.v. infusion of pentagastrin. A significant correlation was found between the peak secretory rates observed during fundic distension and after pentagastrin stimulation. Distension of the oxyntic gland area in man is a potent stimulus for gastric secretion of acid; patients with duodenal ulcer are no more sensitive to this stimulus than healthy subjects.
