[Behavior of gastrin, renin, aldosterone and electrolytes after administration of deglycyrrhizinized liquorice and carbenoxolone in healthy subjects].

We found that renin and aldosterone values do not drop except when administering Carbenoxolone. The significant rise of sodium (11) in the serum and the drop of the serum-potassium values are probably responsible for the undesirable Carbenoxolone side effects; they occur following the administration of deglycyrrhizinized succus. The rise of post-prandial gastrin in the serum of the above as compared to the values obtained from untreated controls is common to both.
