Physiology
Gastrin is a hormone released by G cells in the gastric antrum in response to the presence of food, especially protein. It acts on parietal cells in the gastric glands, stimulating them to produce and secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) and intrinsic factor, which is essential for vitamin B12 absorption. Gastrin is a critical component of the gastric phase, which is responsible for the bulk of gastric acid secretion.

Answer: 2. Leukaemic
Explanation:
Conditional gingival enlargement (also known as inflammatory gingival enlargement) is caused by local irritants (like dental plaque) and is modified by systemic conditions. It is associated with hormonal changes (e.g., during pregnancy or puberty), certain medications (drug-induced), and is the underlying cause of lesions like granuloma pyogenicum.
Leukaemic gingival enlargement, however, is a non-inflammatory enlargement caused by the infiltration of leukaemic cells into the gingival tissues, which is a direct manifestation of systemic disease rather than a condition modifying a pre-existing inflammatory response.
