NAITO, H., SASAKI, I., FUNAYAMA, Y., KAMIYAMA, Y., MATSUNO, S. and SATO, T. Peptic Ulcer and Gastric Acid Secretion in Patients with Insulinoma. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1988, 155 (3), 295-301 - We evaluated the incidence of associated peptic ulcers and the gastric acid secretion in our 20 series of insulinoma, and obtained the following results: 1) Four out of 20 patients (20%) with insulinoma were associated with peptic ulcers. 2) Except for the maximum acid concentration, the preoperative gastric secretion tests, such as the basal acid output and maximum acid output, failed to indicate hyperacidity in those patients. And patients with a short duration of illness by insulinoma neither showed hyperacidity nor were associated with peptic ulcers. 3) A tendency of reduced gastric acid secretion and the amelioration of peptic ulcers was observed in those who under-went the extirpation of insulinoma. 4) In the most recent case received gastric analysis with continuous monitoring of blood glucose level, an increase of basal acid output was observed during the hypoglycemic period in which the blood glucose levels reduced to around 30mg/100ml. These results indicate that the low blood glucose level and the high gastric acid secretion produced under the condition on an empty stomach, may be important factors related to the high association rates of the peptic ulcers in patients with insulinoma.
