“…As might be expected, another effect of vagotomy is to lower both the total volume and the acidity of the gastric secretion. Thornton et al (1946) andGrimson et al (1946) have both drawn attention to these changes in the night fasting juice, which are similar to those previously described by Hartzell in the fractional test meal. I have shown that the free hydrochloric acid secreted during a fractional meal test is reduced to one-third of the pre-operative quantity, but that the general character of the curve remains otherwise unaltered (Beattie, 1948).…”

“…Moore, Chapman, Schulz, and Jones (1946) found the response to histamine was unchanged. Thornton, Storer, and Dragstedt (1946), using the same procedure with a dosage of histamine dihydrochloride of 0. 1 mg./kg.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
