[The secretory function of the stomach in pre-tumorous conditions and tumors]
Abstract:
The effect of 3-methylcholanthrene, pretumor and tumor changes in the stomach on its secretory function was studied on 38 rats. Gastric secretion was not found to change due to the presence of the carcinogen in the stomach or due to developing pre-tumor changes in it. However, the developing tumor would produce considerable shifts in gastric secretion towards achylia. Such a reduction in the secretion results from a diminished functional area of the stomach and, presumably, from toxemia phenomena.

Pathophysiology of Peptic Ulcer Disease: Injurious Factors
In the antrum region, G cells secrete the gastrin hormone that binds to gastrin-cholecystokinin-B (CCK2) receptors on parietal and enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells in the fundic glands. Simultaneously, the vagus nerve releases acetylcholine, which binds to M3...

Hormones Secreted by the Stomach
Each of these hormones secreted by different enteroendocrine cells plays a unique role in digestion. Here are a few examples:
Mucosal Barrier of the Stomach
Within parietal cells, carbonic acid is first formed through the reaction of water and carbon dioxide. The dissociation of carbonic acid releases bicarbonate and hydrogen ions. The bicarbonate...
