Effect of glucagon on human gastric mucosa: histochemical studies. 1981

J Stachura, and A Tarnawski, and J Bogdal, and W Krause, and K Ivey

We studied the effects of glucagon (2 mg intravenously) on the histochemical localization and staining intensity of 10 enzymes in human gastric mucosa. Glucagon caused a significant increase in the histochemical activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in the undifferentiated neck cells and mucous cells of the foveolae and of ATPase activity in and around the mucosal capillary walls. Glucagon also stimulated mucus secretion from the surface epithelial cells. These changes were observed 15 and 30 min after glucagon in the oxyntic, but no pyloric mucosa. they indicate that glucagon, in addition to its effect on parietal cells, also affects other structures in human gastric mucosa.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

D005934 Glucagon A 29-amino acid pancreatic peptide derived from proglucagon which is also the precursor of intestinal GLUCAGON-LIKE PEPTIDES. Glucagon is secreted by PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS and plays an important role in regulation of BLOOD GLUCOSE concentration, ketone metabolism, and several other biochemical and physiological processes.

D000251 Adenosine Triphosphatases A group of enzymes which catalyze the hydrolysis of ATP. The hydrolysis reaction is usually coupled with another function such as transporting Ca(2+) across a membrane. These enzymes may be dependent on Ca(2+), Mg(2+), anions, H+, or DNA.
