Abstract
Antral and serum gastrin concentrations were found to be significantly lower in female than in male rats. Following ovariectomy, serum gastrin concentration significantly increased to male levels; tissue gastrin also increased, but not significantly. Daily injections of estradiol benzoate (2 mug/day) abolished the rise in gastrin levels after ovariectomy. Antral and serum gastrin concentrations were significantly higher in lactating rats than in any other group tested. The possible relationships among sex-dependent changes in food intake, gastrin concentration, and gastric secretion are discussed.Entities:
