The fine structural alteration in the gastric nerve fibers containing gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) was studied in relation to the dynamics of gastrin-producing cells (G-cells) after truncal vagotomy in a rat model. The circulating gastrin levels were markedly elevated from the 1st day after vagotomy and the number of G-cells with positive immunoreaction for G17 and G34(1-15) was significantly increased in the vagotomized group. On the 3rd day after vagotomy, the G-cells showed conspicuous ultrastructural changes characterized by hypertrophy of the Golgi complexes and increased numbers of secretory granules. The GRP-positive nerve fibers formed a fine network in the gastric wall and were densely distributed in the oxyntic mucosa close to the blood vessels and showing varicosities composed of either small clear or GRP-positive large vesicles containing an electron-dense core. In the oxyntic mucosa of the vagotomized rats, axonal swelling of the nerves occurred on the 3rd day, and a depletion of GRP immunoreactivity was evidenced by a markedly decreased number of large-cored vesicles on the 7th day, when the serum GRP levels were also found to be markedly elevated. These findings indicate that the alteration in gastric nerve fibers containing GRP after truncal vagotomy may be related to hypergastrinemia and antral G-cell hyperplasia in the rat gastric mucosa.

D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation.
