Phospholipid patterns and phospholipase A2 activities in gastric mucosa of rats developing carcinomas after
Abstract:
Phospholipid patterns of the gastric mucosa from rats after operations inducing enterogastric reflux showed characteristic differences in relation to control rats: diminution of parent phospholipids phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine concomitant with increases of the corresponding lysophospholipids, increase of the sphingomyelin portion, indications for lipid peroxidations possibly connected with small drops of acidic phospholipids, and an elevated phospholipase A2 activity. The observed phospholipid changes support the assumption of disturbed membrane functions caused by activation of lipolytic activities as one factor involved in progressive mucosal alterations mostly manifested as carcinomas of the stomach.

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...

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
Peptic Ulcer Disease II: Pathophysiology
Damaging agents such as Helicobacter pylori, gastric acid, pepsin, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can weaken the mucosal defense, allowing hydrogen ions to infiltrate back and harm epithelial cells.
