1
The effects are most likely mediated through the induction of hypochlorhydria and severe corpus gastritis with the subsequent development of gastric atrophy.
2
The extent to which oral glutamic acid hydrochloride decreases mean gastric pH in fasting persons with and without simulated hypochlorhydria was studied.
3
Glutamic acid hydrochloride alone did not decrease fasting gastric pH, but it significantly reduced pH in subjects with simulated hypochlorhydria produced by orally administered ranitidine.
