We have studied the concentrations (pg/mg) of Neurotransmitters 5-hydroxytryptamine (5HT), Noradrenaline (NA) and Dopamine (DA) at mucosa normal and with different degrees of chronic inflammation mucosa of fundus (F), antrum (A) and duodenum (D) in 21 patients. We correlated the concentration of the neurotransmitters with each other, all of them in each region and with clinics, indirect of motility and histologic parameters. The average for 5HT in F: 940.2 +/- 457.4; in A: 787.5 +/- 407.0; in D: 601.6 +/- 272.0; for NA in F: 217.5 +/- 138.7; in A: 228.4 +/- 126.5; in D: 245.7 +/- 118.6 for DA in F: 50.7 +/- 32.2; in A: 46.3 +/- 31.5; in D: 53.0 +/- 45.6. The statistical analysis showed a significant correlation of DA concentration with lymphoplasmocytic infiltrated in Duodenum (r = 0,94). not any other parameter had significative relation with the neurotransmitters variations. We established that the variations of the neurotransmitter concentrations of the antrum mucosa are more associated with the duodenum than with the gastric fundus.

D007413 Intestinal Mucosa Lining of the INTESTINES, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. In the SMALL INTESTINE, the mucosa is characterized by a series of folds and abundance of absorptive cells (ENTEROCYTES) with MICROVILLI.

D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

D011706 Pyloric Antrum The region between the sharp indentation at the lower third of the STOMACH (incisura angularis) and the junction of the PYLORUS with the DUODENUM. Pyloric antral glands contain mucus-secreting cells and gastrin-secreting endocrine cells (G CELLS).

D004298 Dopamine One of the catecholamine NEUROTRANSMITTERS in the brain. It is derived from TYROSINE and is the precursor to NOREPINEPHRINE and EPINEPHRINE. Dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement. A family of receptors (RECEPTORS, DOPAMINE) mediate its action.

D004386 Duodenum The shortest and widest portion of the SMALL INTESTINE adjacent to the PYLORUS of the STOMACH. It is named for having the length equal to about the width of 12 fingers. Duodenums
D005260 Female Females
D005748 Gastric Fundus The superior portion of the body of the stomach above the level of the cardiac notch. Fundus, Gastric
D005753 Gastric Mucosa Lining of the STOMACH, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. The surface cells produce MUCUS that protects the stomach from attack by digestive acid and enzymes. When the epithelium invaginates into the LAMINA PROPRIA at various region of the stomach (CARDIA; GASTRIC FUNDUS; and PYLORUS), different tubular gastric glands are formed. These glands consist of cells that secrete mucus, enzymes, HYDROCHLORIC ACID, or hormones.
