[Stressfulness of gastric juice]
Abstract:
A comparative analysis was made of the aggressive properties of gastric juice secreted by normal people and those suffering from peptic ulcer in response to histamine and pentagastrin. Ulcerogenic activity of gastric juice obtained in response to histamine was shown to increase in peptic ulcer. The "pentagastrin" juice did not exhibit such an effect. Experimental study of the occurrence of gastric juice proteases in dogs revealed an increased occurrence in most proteases and their elevated number of the "histamine" juice in ulcer development and a decreased occurrence of proteases in the "pentagastrin" juice. Low aggressiveness of gastric juice from peptic ulcer patients during pentagastrin-induced stimulation of secretion appears to be related to the listed changes in the spectrum and occurrence of proteases.

The acid-secreting gastric mucosal epithelial cells (parietal cells) lining the stomach lumen maintain the low pH in the lumen. Numerous ion transporters and channels on these parietal...
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...

When food enters the stomach, it stretches the stomach walls and activates stretch receptors. This triggers local reflexes of the enteric nervous system, mediated through the myenteric plexus. These...

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...
