Effect of partial gastric devascularization on mucosal blood flow and acid secretion in cats. 1979

J E Varhaug, and K Svanes, and O Søreide, and A Skarstein

Partial devascularization of the stomach was performed in cats anesthetized with pentobarbital. The devascularization included all blood vessels along the greater curvature and two of the main branches of the left gastric artery. Gastric mucosal blood flow and cardiac output were determined by means of the microsphere distribution technique. The acid (H+) output from the 30th to the 60th min of pentagastrin stimulation was used as the 'acid response value'. Blood flow and acid secretion were determined before and approximately 2 h after devascularization or sham operation. A marked decrease in acid secretion and mucosal blood flow of the corpus/fundus occurred after devascularization. A high degree of correlation was found between the decrease in acid secretion and the decrease in mucosal blood flow caused by the devascularization. The regression coefficient of acid secretion on mucosal blood flow did not change significantly after devascularization.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.

D005750 Gastric Juice The liquid secretion of the stomach mucosa consisting of hydrochloric acid (GASTRIC ACID); PEPSINOGENS; INTRINSIC FACTOR; GASTRIN; MUCUS; and the bicarbonate ion (BICARBONATES).

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.
