Abstract:
The influence of reduced mastication on the pathogenesis of chronic gastritis was examined in rats. In spite of reducing experimentally the masticatory effect to a third no inflammation of the gastric mucosa was to provoke. Nevertheless, the attended group showed a significant smaller increase of weight during the experiment.
