   “showing first general hypertrophy and second a marked hyperplasia of argyrophil ECL cells.”

1. Partial gastric corpectomy increases gastrin in rats (almost 10-fold).

   “the mean increase compared with the controls was almost 10-fold during the entire study.”

1. Partial gastric corpectomy induces gastric carcinoid in rats (26 of 75).

   “ECL-cell carcinoids were found in the oxyntic mucosa of 26 of the 75 partially corpectomized rats.”
