  #1

can anyone pls explain what happens in ze syndrome with secretin? what happens to basal/ maximal acid output and why?
thanks

  #2

ZE SYNDROME IS INCREASE IN GASTRIN SECRETION ....

RIGHT?

ok now gastrin increases acid secretion by the parietal cell .....

when there is increase acid in the stomach is will INC or DEC the secretion secretion???????

think ..............................

It will INCREASE THE SECRETION secretion because secretion normally inhibit acid secretion ..

acid out put will be high

hope this will help?


  #3

secretin in the normal individual should either have no efffect or cause a decrease in the gastrin secretion while in ZE it causes a paradoxical rise.

i m probably wrong
but here's what i think in ZE syndrome, the secretion is due to a neoplastic process. it will have a high basal output but will not be significantly affected by secretin

this is what q bank explanation said
Secretin infusion increases gastrin secretion from a gastrinoma but will have LITTLE effect on a B9 ulcer
Pts with gastric ulcer often exhibit Decreased basal acid secretion and the ulcer is usually due to a bk down of mucosal barrier

strange dont u think?
tolito was ur source dif
