Maximal histalog test in control subjects and patients with peptic ulcer.

Abstract

EDITORIAL SYNOPSIS This is a very valuable detailed analysis of the maximal histalog test. The studies suggest that increased parietal cell mass in duodenal ulcer is unlikely to be the most important factor in its pathophysiology. It was noted that impaired secretory capacity suggesting mucosal damage is associated with peptic ulcer in a considerable proportion of patients of all categories.
