Abstract
1. Epinephrine induced plasma gastrin concentration increased linearly in dogs, and significantly in pigs. 2. Epinephrine induced gastric se cretion rate increased in dogs and decreased in pigs, and yet signific antly reduced gastric pH only in dogs. 3. Statistical differences in h eart and respiratory rate with epinephrine versus saline infusion were detected only in pigs. 4. Stress-susceptible pigs had a significant d ecrease in gastric secretion pH, heart rate and increased respiration compared to normal pigs, during saline infusion.
