Effect of treatment with cimetidine for one year on gastrin cell and parietal cell function and sensitivity to cimetidine in patients with duodenal or gastric ulcers. 1980

H P Festen, and C B Lamers, and A Tangerman, and J H van Tongeren

Twenty-two duodenal and 16 gastric ulcer patients were treated with 400 mg cimetidine twice daily for one year after their ulcers had healed. No change in gastric acid secretion was observed before and after treatment in 20 duodenal and 13 gastric ulcer patients. Similarly, the inhibitory effect of 200 mg cimetidine on gastric acid secretion was unaltered in 11 duodenal and 6 gastric ulcer patients studied and cimetidine blood concentration were unchanged in 9 duodenal and 4 gastric ulcer patients after one year. In 7 duodenal and 6 gastric ulcer patients the serum gastrin response to a standard test meal before and after treatment was identical.

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.
