[The study of gastric secretory function in Norway (a historical review)]
Abstract:
The review summarizes the results of Norwegian investigations of gastric secretion and gastric secretory tests as a diagnostic procedure in peptic ulcer patients. The introduction of gastroscopy as a method of accurate diagnosis of gastric diseases made it less important to examine gastric secretory capacity in the clinical setting. The gastric secretory tests remain to be essential in defining the indications for and the impact of surgical interventions in intractable peptic ulcers. Gastric secretory studies are of great value in studying gastric physiology and pathophysiology and in evaluating the efficacy of the drugs that inhibit hydrochloric acid secretion.

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...
Gastric Phase of Digestion
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...
