: This study is concerned with gastro-secretory and motor answers. It was carried out in two groups of patients and the results obtained were compared. The following aspects were noted: a. the control group was represented by 10 patients that had been exposed to anesthesic-surgical aggression; b. the second group was formed by 20 patients with toxico-septic syndrome of various etiologies and in different stages of evolution; - secretory and motor gastric disturbances take on an evolutive dynamic character, according to the clinico-biological phase of the syndrome; in the acute stage absolute hypersection is noted, as well as from the viewpoint of the rate, of hydrochloric acid, and gastric hypomotility; in the chronic stage there is acid hyposecretion both insulin- and histamine-resistant and in 30% of the cases there is anachlorhydria; to the general-metabolic phase of inversion corresponds, at the gastric level; a return to normal of the motility and of the acid gastric secretion.
