In six beagle puppies provided with vagally denervated pouches of the oxyntic gland area, the effects of massive resection of the small intestine on acid secretion and serum gastrin induced by feeding were studied. The enterectomies produced significant postprandial hypersecretion of acid and hypergastrinemia. A linear correlation existed between the increased acid output and serum gastrin level.
