This study analyzed the relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection, mucosal gastrin concentration, and basal serum gastrin levels in duodenal ulcer patients with dyspepsia. Patients with duodenal ulcers who were H pylori positive showed higher antral gastrin concentrations than either H pylori-positive patients with dyspepsia or H pylori-negative patients with duodenal ulcers. No correlation was found between serum gastrin and antral gastrin concentrations. The increased antral gastrin concentrations were not correlated with an inhibition of acid-gastrin feedback. These preliminary data confirm that H pylori infection impairs gastrin physiology. © 1994 Excerpta Medica, Inc. All rights reserved.

Abstract
This study analyzed the relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection, mucosal gastrin concentration, and basal serum gastrin levels in duodenal ulcer patients with dyspepsia. Patients with duodenal ulcers who were H pylori positive showed higher antral gastrin concentrations than either H pylori-positive patients with dyspepsia or H pylori-negative patients with duodenal ulcers. No correlation was found between serum gastrin and antral gastrin concentrations. The increased antral gastrin concentrations were not correlated with an inhibition of acid-gastrin feedback. These preliminary data confirm that H pylori infection impairs gastrin physiology. © 1994 Excerpta Medica, Inc.
