What is the role of the post-prandial alkaline tide in the regulation of gastric pH?
1) It increases gastric acidity
2) It decreases gastric acidity
3) It has no effect on gastric acidity
4) It neutralizes gastric acid
E) It promotes the secretion of bicarbonate into the gastric lumen
The post-prandial alkaline tide refers to the increase in blood bicarbonate levels that occurs after a meal due to the secretion of bicarbonate by the pancreas and duodenal mucosa to neutralize the acidic chyme entering the small intestine. This temporary rise in blood pH reduces the secretion of gastrin and therefore decreases gastric acidity.
