Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increased gastrin secretion by the mother in the last trimester of pregnancy increases the likelihood of pyloric stenosis in the infant. The overproduction of gastric secretions in the infant may be caused by stress-related factors in the mother. Increased gastrin secretion does not lead to meconium ileus, esophageal atresia, or galactosemia.
