 Orthotrophy: Chapter XVIII
The secretion of gastric juice is in response to the higher centers, as these are set in motion by the taste and odor of food, and is poured into the stomach in advance of the food.
The acidity of gastric juice is determined by the food eaten, by the length of time that has elapsed since the food was consumed, and by the familiarity or unfamiliarity of the system with the food.
This juice, the secretion of which is excited by the action of the acid contents received from the stomach upon the walls of the intestine, is poured out about the time the contents of the stomach pass through he pyloric valve.

Gastric ulcers in foals (less than 50 days of age) and adult horses are commonly located in the non-glandular region of the stomach adjacent to the margo plicatus along the greater curvature and lesser curvature.
Gastric ulceration in the squamous mucosa is directly related to the degree and severity of gastric acid exposure.
Decreased gastric and esophageal motility and delayed gastric emptying have been implicated in the cause of GERDS in humans during exercise and may lead to gastric ulceration in the performance horses, especially the racehorse.

 AllRefer.com - gastric juice (Biochemistry) - Encyclopedia
gastric juice, thin, strongly acidic (pH varying from 1 to 3), almost colorless liquid secreted by the glands in the lining of the stomach.
Gastric secretion is stimulated by a number of hormones and chemical substances, by the presence of food in the stomach, and by a number of psychological factors, such as the smell of a favorite food.
A decrease or total absence of gastric juice secretion may be a congenital abnormality or a concomitant of advanced age.

The highest rise in the secretion of gastric juice (average from 68 to 87 ml) and hydrochloric acid (average from 0.310 to 0.401 g%) was recorded on the second day after irradiation.
The initial increase in gastric juice and hydrochloric acid secretion is attributed to the summing of the effects of endogenous and exogenous histamine.
Increased proteolytic effects of the gastric juice may be attributed to desquamation of the cells of the gastric mucosa.

Gastric and duodenal ulcers are lumped together under the general heading of peptic ulcer disease.
Basically an ulcer forms when the capacity of the gastric mucosa to protect itself is overwhelmed by the existing level of gastric juice production.
Gastric ulcers (see GASTRIC ULCER) are frequently due to reduced defensive capacity, whereas, duodenal ulcers are frequently the result of increased exposure of the duodenal mucosa to gastric juice.

 An Evaluation Of Alveolar Cytokine Response To Aspiration Of Gastric Contents
Gastric juice (pH = 4.57) from one of the fasted pigs was withdrawn using an orogastric tube and this served as the study aspiration material (1 ml/kg) for pigs in the study group (n=5).
Gastric juice aspiration however resulted in a significant change with the TNF level increasing from 136.0 + 15.0 pg/ml to 915.0 + 15.0 pg/ml (p=0.003) (Table 1).
The gastric juice used for the pulmonary aspiration was checked for the presence of TNF and IL-6 and was found to have no detectable levels.

 What is the effect of gastric juice on Barrett's mucosa?
We have recently found that there was a close relationship between esophageal injury and increased esophageal exposure to pH < 2 and to pH > 7, suggesting that alkaline components of refluxed gastric juice contribute to esophageal injury in humans [5].
Bremner supported his early hypothesis that bile reflux may be related to Barrett's ulceration by reports of increased bile acids in the stomachs of some Barrett's patients and later, in the gastric juice of Barrett's patients with stricture [8-10].
This was independently supported by Gillen who showed that postprandial gastric bile concentrations in patients with complicated Barrett's was greater than that of patients with uncomplicated Barrett's [11].

Gastric ulcer patients in the early phase of Helicobacter pylori eradication experience improved antral neutrophil infiltration and an increase in basal and gastrin- stimulated somatostatin-containing cell activity, say Japanese researchers.
Recovery of gastric basal acid output (BAO) is not caused by an increase in parietal cell volume or a change in atrophy, but rather by an improvement in corpus neutrophil infiltration, they suggest.
Radioimmunoassay was used to measure somatostatin concentration in the gastric juice.

A patient who demonstrates a significant change in the gastric juice pH using this test can have their medical care normalized in an accelerated fashion thereby reducing the duration, intensity, and cost of their care.
The ability of the gastric cells to respond to this pharmacological challenge is a good indicator of the perfusion and function of the gastrointestinal tract.
The baseline gastric juice pH is 5.4 and shows no change 20 minutes after the administration of pentagastrin 6 micrograms/kg subcutaneously.

 Gastric secretion
The secretion of gastric juice and its functions were first described by an American army surgeon, William Beaumont, who treated a patient who had been shot in the side.
This doctor made a description of gastric juice, its digestive and antibacterial actions, that the acid was hydrochloric, that mucus was secreted separately, studied action of gastric juices on various foods, and studied gastric motility in 1825.
The gastric phase of acid secretion is primarily stimulated by the presence of food in the stomach and the distension it causes.

He collected quantities of gastric juice, and placing it in suitable vessels containing crushed grain or flesh, kept the mixture at about the temperature of the body for several hours.
That Spallanzani's and Hunter's theories of the action of the gastric juice were not at once universally accepted is shown by an essay written by a learned physician in 1834.
Hunter rightly conceived that these lesions were caused by the action of the gastric juice, which, while unable to act upon the living tissue, continued its action chemically after death, thus digesting the walls of the stomach in which it had been formed.

Acute response to nonacidic gastric juice within the lung parenchyma is unknown.
            Gastric juice (pH = 4.57) from one of the fasted pigs was withdrawn using an orogastric tube and this served as the study aspiration material (1 mL/kg) for pigs in the study group (n = 5).
The association between BAL cytokine levels and gastric juice aspiration is based on a relative change in levels rather than exact numbers as our standardization curves were based on human cytokines provided with the ELISA kits.

The stomach is a sac-like organ that holds food and begins the digestive process by secreting gastric juice.
The food and gastric juice are mixed and then emptied into the first part of the small intestine called the duodenum.
This area includes the antrum, where the food is mixed with gastric juice, and the pylorus, which acts as a valve to control emptying of the stomach contents into the small intestine.
