The serum gastrin responses after ingestion of hard boiled eggs and Nutrient Broth solution were examined in peptic ulcer patients and normal subjects. The values observed of the serum gastrin response to these test meals were compared and contrasted. A significant enhancement of gastrin release in response to protein was obtained. There were no significant differences between the releases of gastrin after the two test meals.
