Parietal cell antibodies in relation to basal serum gastrin in a normal population
Abstract:
Parietal cell antibodies, basal gastric pH and serum gastrin were determined in 544 normal non-achlorhydric subjects. Serum gastrin was significantly higher in subjects with parietal cell antibodies, both in the group with a weakly positive and in that with a strongly positive fluorescence score. The elevated serum gastrin level in subjects with circulating parietal cell antibodies was independent of gastric pH. It is suggested that parietal cell antibodies may interfere with gastrin receptors on the membrane of the parietal cell, thus influencing the feedback mechanism between the secretion of acid and gastrin, and resulting in an increase of the basal serum gastrin level at an unchanged basal gastric pH.

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...
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...
