Abstract:
The effects of 4-week indomethacin administration (1mg/kg/day, orally) on gastrin cell (G-cell), somatostatin cell (D-cell) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) of gastric mucosa were examined in pyloric stenosis rats. As a result, pyloric stenosis rats showed hypergastrinemia, G-cell hyperplasia and D-cell hyperplasia with normal PGE2 concentration of gastric mucosa compared with sham operated rats. However, indomethacin administration completely abolished these endocrinic changes of pyloric stenosis by reducing PGE2 concentration of gastric mucosa in both fundic and pyloric regions. These results underline the importance of gastric mucosal PGE2 concentration on the proliferation of G-cells and D-cells in pyloric stenosis.

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...
