Congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis: A gastrin hypothesis pursued

I M Rogers et al. J Pediatr Surg. 1976 Apr.

Pentagastrin and acetyl choline were shown to contract isolated strips of the circular pyloric muscle from baboons. These findings are compatible with the hypothesis that gastrin may have a part to play in the development or maintenance of congenital hypertrophiic pyloric stenosis of infancy.
