Physiology

A patient suffering from Zollinger- Ellison syndrome would be expected to have:

Excessive acid reflux into the esophagus, resulting in esophagitis

Excessive secretion of CCK, causing continuous contraction of the gallbladder

A gastrin-secreting tumor of the pancreas, causing excessive stomach acid secretion and peptic ulcers

Low plasma lipid levels, due to failure of the liver to secrete VLDLs
