Gastric juice aliquots for pepsin measurement were centrifuged at 4°C.
▪
Increased histamine secretion was not, however, associated with increased acid or pepsin output at day 7.

Peptic ulcers are produced by the self-destruction of the gut wall by pepsin and hydrochloric acid in gastric juice.
▪
The difference between mean rates of secretion of acid and pepsin in control subjects and patients with duodenal ulcer is about 190%.
▪
These studies therefore show that the ulcer formation is not due to hypersecretion of acid or pepsin .
▪
This implies that the antibody is recognising an epitope that is cleaved by one of the digestive enzymes pepsin or trypsin.
▪
We found a relation between platelet activating factor precursors and acid, and between platelet activating factor precursors and pepsin .
