Gastrin and somatostatin in plasma and gastric biopsy specimens in pernicious anemia. 1985

Five patients with megaloblastic anemia due to deficiency of vitamin B12 and achlorhydria and six normal controls participated in the study. The patients with pernicious anemia (PA) had elevated plasma gastrin levels, as expected, and lower plasma somatostatin (SST) levels than the control patients. The amount of gastrin and SST in the antral mucosa did not differ in the two groups of patients. In the fundic mucosa, the patients with PA had increased tissue concentrations of both gastrin and SST as compared with the tissue concentrations in the controls. These findings of hormone tissue concentrations were correlated to the number of argyrophilic cells. Thus, in the antral mucosa the number of argyrophilic cells did not differ in patients with PA and in the controls. In the fundic mucosa, however, the number of argyrophilic cells was significantly elevated in patients with PA as compared with the controls.

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.

D000752 Anemia, Pernicious A megaloblastic anemia occurring in children but more commonly in later life, characterized by histamine-fast achlorhydria, in which the laboratory and clinical manifestations are based on malabsorption of vitamin B 12 due to a failure of the gastric mucosa to secrete adequate and potent intrinsic factor.

D013004 Somatostatin A 14-amino acid peptide named for its ability to inhibit pituitary GROWTH HORMONE release, also called somatotropin release-inhibiting factor. It is expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems, the gut, and other organs. SRIF can also inhibit the release of THYROID-STIMULATING HORMONE; PROLACTIN; INSULIN; and GLUCAGON besides acting as a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator. In a number of species including humans, there is an additional form of somatostatin, SRIF-28 with a 14-amino acid extension at the N-terminal.
