Serum gastrin concentrations are typically elevated in parasitised sheep; however, in some animals serum gastrin concentrations may fall abruptly despite a very high abomasal pH. Although proliferating abomasal bacteria in culture generate a potent inhibitor of in vitro gastrin secretion, this inhibitor has not been detected in abomasal contents of unparasitised sheep. In sheep parasitised by O. circumcincta, all abomasal fluid samples of pH 5 and above were inhibitory to gastrin release in vitro. Inhibitory activity and abomasal pH were correlated in two separate experiments; the model best fitting the data being sigmoidal in each case, with zero activity at pH 3.6 and 4.6, respectively. There was no clear evidence that the presence of a gastrin inhibitor in the abomasal contents reduced the serum gastrin concentration in parasitised sheep. Serum gastrin was correlated with abomasal pH (log(10) serum gastrin concentrations conformed to log-linear sigmoidal models).
