Gastroesophageal sphincter pressure (GESP) and serum gastrin concentration (SGC) were determined in the basal state and after a protein meal in 6 patients with duodenal ulcer (DU) 6 patients after parietal cell vagotomy (PCV) 6 patients after selective gastric vagotomy plus drainage (SGV + D), and 6 patients after selective gastric vagotomy plus precise antrectomy (SGV + A). No correlation in the resting state between GESP and SGC was observed. After food ingestion, DU patients showed a sustained rise in GESP which lasted up to the end of the experiment. The vagotomized patients, however, showed no rise in sphincter pressure after food intake--rather a tendency to decrease in pressure occurred. On the contrary, SGC rose significantly after food ingestion in patients with SGV + D or PCV, while in DU patient this rise was less significant. Patients with vagotomy and antrectomy showed no rise in SGC. These results do not suggest that SGC and extrinsic vagal innervation in the resting state play a significant role in the maintenance of the tone of GES. After food ingestion an interaction may occur between intact vagal innervation and rise in SGC in order to obtain an adequate rise in GESP.
