Gastrin- and somatostatin-immunoreactive cells in biopsies taken from the prepyloric portion of the antrum from 15 patients with duodenal ulcer, 16 patients with gastric ulcer, and a control group of 19 patients without histopathological alterations of the antral mucosa were studied using peroxidase anti-peroxidase and immunogold-silver staining methods in combination with morphometry. Numerical densities and sizes (immunoreactive areas) of the cells demonstrated were measured and compared between all three groups. Gastrin- and somatostatin-immunoreactive cells were located most frequently in the lower midzone of the gastric crypts. None of the parameters measured showed a correlation with age or sex. The group with duodenal ulcer tended to exhibit gastrin- and somatostatin-cell-hyperplasia whereas the size of both cell types remained unchanged. In comparison with the control group, the numerical density of gastrin-immunoreactive cells was significantly increased in gastric ulcer patients, whereas the numerical density of somatostatin-immunoreactive cells was decreased in this group. Immunoreactive areas of both cell types were significantly increased in patients with gastric ulcer.

D009092 Mucous Membrane An EPITHELIUM with MUCUS-secreting cells, such as GOBLET CELLS. It forms the lining of many body cavities, such as the DIGESTIVE TRACT, the RESPIRATORY TRACT, and the reproductive tract. Mucosa, rich in blood and lymph vessels, comprises an inner epithelium, a middle layer (lamina propria) of loose CONNECTIVE TISSUE, and an outer layer (muscularis mucosae) of SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS that separates the mucosa from submucosa.
