The effect of highly selective vagotomy on the relationship between gastric mucosal blood flow and acid secretion in man. 1978

S E Knight, and R L McIsaac, and L P Fielding

Previous work has shown that the duodenal ulcer population can be defined by a lower ratio between gastric mucosal blood flow and acid secretion (during pentagastrin stimulation) than is found in normal subjects. The results of the present investigation have shown that the ratio is restored to normality by highly selective vagotomy. This suggests that increased tonic activity of the vagus on the parietal cell is one of the important disorders in duodenal ulceration.

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.
