We studied 25 duodenal ulcer patients and 14 age- and sex-matched normal controls to determine whether gastric acid secretion in duodenal ulcer patients is abnormally sensitive to stimulation by gastrin endogenously released in response to meals. Acid response to saline and to 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, and 8.0% peptone infused into the stomach was measured by 30 min intragastric titration. Total serum gastrin (G-total) and serum heptadecapeptide gastrin (G17), fasting and 30 min after each test meal, were measured by specific radioimmunoassays. In 19 ulcer patients and 11 normal subjects (controls), acid response to graded doses (11, 33, 100, and 300 pmol kg(-1) h(-1)) of G17-I were also measured. Mean acid output in response to each dose of peptone was significantly higher in duodenal ulcer patients than in the controls. Gastrin levels in ulcer patients and controls were not significantly different. Within individual patients and controls, both G-total and G17 were significantly correlated with meal-stimulated acid output regardless of whether the absolute, basal-corrected, or distention-corrected values for acid output were examined (median r ranged from 0.82 to 0.94, P < 0.001). From the individual regression lines, the gastrin concentrations corresponding to half of the highest observed meal-stimulated acid response (D(50m)) were calculated. Mean D(50m) for G-total and G17 were significantly lower in duodenal ulcer patients than in controls both in the overall group and in pairs of ulcer patients and controls matched on the basis of highest observed meal-stimulated acid responses, or on the basis of maximal acid output in response to synthetic human G17. The dose of exogenously administered G17 required for half maximal G17 acid response mean D(50g), was significantly less in patients than in control subjects. In both ulcer and control subjects, D(50g) correlated significantly with D(50m). This and the significant correlation between meal-stimulated G17 and acid response strongly suggest that the endogenously released gastrin was responsible for most, if not all, of the postpeptone acid output.We conclude that after peptone test meals, gastric acid secretion in duodenal ulcer patients was abnormally sensitive to stimulation by endogenously released gastrin.
