Abstract
The secretion by the stomach of hydrochloric acid, sodium, potassium and chloride has been studied in normal human subjects and in patients suffering from peptic ulcer. A close inverse relationship was demonstrated between the concentration of acid and sodium, and a direct relationship between potassium concentration and the rate of secretion of gastric juice. It is suggested that H and Na ions may share a secretory pathway, and that K concentration represents a part of the process of water secretion. These findings were consistent in over 300 samples of gastric juice, obtained without stimulation, and after stimulation with histamine or insulin. © 1960 The Physiological Society
