A method for measurement of gastrin in human antral mucosa or in extragastric tissue has been developed and validated. Tissue gastrin was extracted by boiling followed by homogenization at neutral pH. Extractable gastrin immunoreactivity was measured by radioimmunoassay using an antiserum with equal affinity towards G-17 I, G-17 II, G-34 I and G-34 II molecular forms. Almost all extractable gastrin immunoreactivity was recovered after a single extraction and no significant interference by other peptides and/or substances present in tissue was found. The mean gastrin concentration in antral mucosa of healthy subjects was similar to that observed in duodenal ulcer patients, while patients with type A chronic atrophic gastritis or with antral gastrin cell hyperplasia had mean values significantly higher. Gastrin concentration in all specimens from gastrinoma or its metastases was above the upper limit of the range of control tissue. Measurement of tissue gastrin seems to be a valuable tool in the diagnosis of antral gastrin cell hyperplasia and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

D010190 Pancreatic Neoplasms Tumors or cancer of the PANCREAS. Depending on the types of ISLET CELLS present in the tumors, various hormones can be secreted: GLUCAGON from PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS; INSULIN from PANCREATIC BETA CELLS; and SOMATOSTATIN from the SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS. Most are malignant except the insulin-producing tumors (INSULINOMA).

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).

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.
