SUMMARY The gastric secretion of acid and pepsin was measured in 93 healthy young male volunteers and related to ABO blood group and secretor status. No evidence for an increased secretion of gastric acid and pepsin in group O individuals or non‐secretors was found. The implications of these findings are discussed.
