Journal ArticleDOI
Immunochemical measurement of elevated levels of gastrin in the serum of patients with pancreatic tumors of the Zollinger-Ellison variety.
TL;DR: Serum gastrin levels in all the patients with the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome exceeded by approximately tenfold or greater the mean serum gastrin level of 425 μμg per milliliter in the control population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Secretin injection test in the diagnosis of gastrinoma
TL;DR: With the development of histamine Hz-receptor antagonists, principally cimetidine, a nonsurgical therapeutic alternative to surgical therapy became available and treatment with cimetazine has been shown to be effective in reducing gastrinoma symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum Gastrin Concentrations in Pernicious Anemia
TL;DR: Nine of 29 patients with pernicious anemia had serum gastrin levels sufficiently elevated to be considered in the hypergastrinemic range characteristic of the Zollinger — Ellison syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
The carcinoid flush. Provocation by pentagastrin and inhibition by somatostatin.
TL;DR: The carcinoid syndrome is characterized by episodes of flushing that appear to be secondary to the secretion of one or more substances by a tumor of enterochromaffin-cell origin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Calcium on Serum Gastrin Levels in the Zollinger–Ellison Syndrome
TL;DR: Serum gastrin levels were found to relate directly to plasma calcium concentrations, falling by a factor of 20 with the development of hypocalcemia after parathyroidectomy for hypercalcemic hyperparathyroidism.
