Peak gastric acid secretion

When measuring the maximum gastric acid secretion, the sum of the two measured values ​​with the highest gastric acid content in 4 specimens is multiplied by 2 to obtain the peak gastric acid secretion. It is directly related to the size of the gastric mucosal cell mass. Stomach acid (0.2% to 0.4% hydrochloric acid) in gastric juice kills bacteria in food, ensures the safety of the stomach and intestines, and increases the activity of pepsin to help digestion. Stomach juice plays an important role in digesting food. Normal gastric juice is acidic, and it is 20 ~ 100ml when fasting, and more than 100ml indicates increased gastric acid secretion. There is a certain amount of gastric juice secretion. If it is secreted too much, acid swallowing, nausea, and acidic water will appear.
