Ultrastructure of the human antral G cells during fasting. 1977

M Zaviacic, and M Brozman, and J Jakubovský, and I Duris

The ultrastructure of the human antral G cells was examined in gastrobiopsies of 7 healthy volunteers fasting 24 to 240 hours. In contrast to the animals gastric C cells during fasting, the dissolution of the substance of gastrin granules (but not emiocytosis of granules) was observed in the human antral G cells during long fasting. The authors consider the possibility of artificially inducing the dissolution of the substance of the granules only the technique of gastrobiopsy itself.

D004759 Enterochromaffin Cells A subtype of enteroendocrine cells found in the gastrointestinal MUCOSA, particularly in the glands of PYLORIC ANTRUM; DUODENUM; and ILEUM. These cells secrete mainly SEROTONIN and some neuropeptides. Their secretory granules stain readily with silver (argentaffin stain).

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.
