The activity of amylase, lipase and trypsin was increased and that of the trypsin inhibitor decreased in the blood serum of young peptic ulcer patients as compared with healthy persons. The antiulcerous dietetics normalized significantly the parameters studied. Similar highly pronounced shifts in the activity of the blood pancreatic enzymes were revealed in atrophic gastritis patients. Hyperamilasuria and clinical symptoms of pancreatitis were not observed both in the peptic patients, and in the atrophic gastritis patients. The shifts in the blood content of pancreatic enzymes and their dynamics correlated mainly with the intensity and dynamics of the disturbances in the locomotive function of the gastroduodenal system.

The effect of a rational diet and of antiulcerous diets containing a proteinic-mineral enrichment (in an amount of 20--30 g) on the clinical symptomatology, the peripheral blood picture and some biochemical blood serum characteristics in patients with atrophic gastritis and duodenal ulcer was studied. In cases of atrophic gastritis with hypoferremia the proteinic enrichment was incorporated in the diet (rational) in an amount of 80--90 g per day. Control observations were conducted over analogous groups of patients receiving the same diets, but without proteinic enrichment. These observations continued over a period of 30--40 days. Thanks to a high content of easily assimilated iron and a well-balanced amino acids composition the proteinic-mineral enrichment has been found to be a valuable food product that is capable of favourably influencing the hemopoietic function of the organism and improving the blood proteins composition. Most patients with atrophic gastritis and peptic ulcer tolerate well the products and meals carrying additions of the proteinic enrichment.
