چکیده

In patients with peptic ulceration, both vagal stimulation by insulin hypoglycaemia and stimulation by pentagastrin cause pepsin 1 to be secreted into gastric juice. There is a secretory threshold for pepsin 1, below which only pepsins 3 and 5 are secreted. Pepsin 1 accounts for an increasing proportion of the total peptic activity/ml of gastric juice as the total activity increases. Higher concentrations of pepsin 1 in the basal gastric secretion occurred significantly more frequently in patients with duodenal ulcer than with gastric ulcer. In these patients there may be an increased 'background' secretory drive.

Cigarette smoking, chronic peptic ulceration, and pepsin 1 secretion.

The relationship between the secretion of pepsin 1 (the most electronegative of the pepsins), and the smoking habits of 219 patients has been investigated. Significantly more cigarette smokers with peptic ulceration (72.5%) secreted pepsin 1 in greater than trace amounts after pentagastrin or histamine than did non-smokers with ulceration (51.2%). Differences of a similar order were found for m...

Peptic activity and gastroduodenal mucosal damage.

This contribution reviews briefly the history of the discovery and characterization of peptic activity; secretory models and current concepts regarding the regulation of pepsinogen secretion; and evidence that pepsin is a necessary co-factor for gastroduodenal mucosal injury. Several animal studies indicate that peptic activity is required for acid- and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-induc...

Duodenal ulcer: a model of impaired mucosal defence.

There is a new model of chronic duodenal ulcer in which the ulcer is generated by irradiating the lower mediastinum of mice with a single dose of 18 Gy 250 kV x rays. Single ulcers develop in the proximal duodenum of about half the animals. Previous studies have shown a remarkable morphological and behavioural similarity to duodenal ulcer in man. Ulceration occurs because of an imbalance betwee...

Pathophysiological Mechanisms and Preclinical Models of Peptic Ulcer

A Peptic ulcer is a mucosal lesion of the stomach or duodenum in which the acid and pepsin play major pathogenic roles. The major forms of peptic ulcer are gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer, both of which are chronic diseases often caused by Helicobacter pylori. The term peptic ulcer also encompasses gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers associated with stress or the ingestion of drugs, most common...
