[Aggressive role of lysosomal enzymes in gastric ulceration]
Abstract:
Administration of lysosomes and lysosome enzymes into the submucous base of intact rats' stomachs did not result in ulceration. Premedication by histamine, serotonin (combined and separated) and ACTH did not increase sensibility of mucous membrane to lysosome enzymes. Prednisolone-premedication provoked the decrease of mucous membrane resistance to free lysosome enzymes and appearance of ulcerative lesions in the point of enzyme applications. Free lysosome enzymes are able to produce ulcerative lesions. This process is going on with the participation of prednisolone.

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...
