Conclusions
-
1.
Experimental gastric ulcers may readily be produced in chicks on a deficient diet.
-
2.
Gastric acidity in chickens following histamine injection is comparable to that found in man.
-
3.
Chickens with gastric ulcers have hyperacidity.
-
4.
The increased acidity in chicks with ulcers over those without ulcers suggests that it is a result of whatever causes the lesions and not a direct cause in itself.
-
5.
The cause of the ulcers and the hyperacidity is apparently the lack of a dietary factory which has a specific effect on the resistance of the gastric mucosa.
