[The correction of the hormonal response during the treatment of the dumping syndrome with potable mineral waters].

Abstract

Glucose tolerance test (40 g/lm2 b.s.) in patients with stomach resected for gastroduodenal ulcer provoked dumping-syndrome seen 15-30 min after glucose introduction. There was also a rise in blood sugar (by 77%), ACTH (by > 400%), STH (by > 400%), hydrocortisone (by 56%). Aldosterone levels fell by 68%. There was also a marked fall in activity of early insulin pool changed for elevation of its secretion by the test minute 60. 65 patients with dumping-syndrome following a course of drinking mineral water demonstrated improvement in clinical symptoms of the disease and changed hormonal response to glucose which manifested with activation of insulin secretion early phase and reduced rise of hydrocortisone levels.
