Summary The first 30-min. gastric juice specimen following augmented histamine stimulation was collected from 32 patients. After measuring the volume and pH, each sample was divided into 2 equal parts, and one half was neutralized to pH 7.0. The paired samples were individually dialyzed and lyophilized, and their weight, hexose and nitrogen content, proteolytic enzyme activity, and B12 binding capacity were determined. When the paired samples were compared, in-vitro neutralization and dialysis reduced the concentration of the proteolytic enzyme activity and increased the concentration of hexoses and B12binding materials. In-vitro neutralization and dialysis reduced the weight of the samples and the total proteolytic enzyme activity, while the total B12 binding material was increased. The nitrogen concentration was reduced also by in-vitro neutralization and dialysis.
