Among inbred female cotton rats (Sigmodon hispidus) 25%-50% of the animals develop spontaneous gastric carcinomas, whereas males have an incidence of less than 1%. The carcinomas are enterochromaffin-like (ECL)-cell derived. Animals with gastric carcinomas also have hypergastrinaemia and gastric hypoacidity, but the mechanism behind the hypoacidity is unknown. Carcinomas have been found in all female cotton rats with spontaneous hypergastrinaemia lasting more than 4 months, and a gastrin receptor antagonist prevents the development of carcinoma. The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether induced hypergastrinaemia in male cotton rats would also result in carcinomas.
