Effect of Omeprazole on Regional and Temporal Variations in Intragastric Acidity
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Conventional techniques for measuring gastric acidity have demonstrated the decrease in gastric acidity produced by proton pump inhibitors (PPI); however, such techniques do not detect transient or localized pH changes which may modify the intragastric environment without affecting the therapeutic efficacy of PPIs.
AIM: To investigate local and temporal variations in intragastric pH and to test the hypothesis that omeprazole …
