[Hydrochloric acid and pepsin secretion and the structure of the stomach in experimental protein malnutrition]. 1976

U G Meneghelli, and W Padovan, and R B De Oliveira, and R O Dantas, and R A De Godoy

In adult male rats submitted during 12 weeks to a diet containing 2,5% protein the amount of hydrochloric acid and of pepsin was determined and the macro and microscopic morphology of the stomach was studied. A group fed a diet containing 20% protein was used as control. The statistical analysis of the data obtained showed that the apparent differences in the secretion of acid as well as pepsin could be attributed to the different body weights of the two groups. The morphological examination showed papillomas, frequently ulcerated occurring in the forestomach of the undernourished rats. In these areas, histological examination revealed hyperkeratosis and acanthosis. The glandular epithelium showed neither macroscopic nor microscopic alterations.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D010434 Pepsin A Formed from pig pepsinogen by cleavage of one peptide bond. The enzyme is a single polypeptide chain and is inhibited by methyl 2-diaazoacetamidohexanoate. It cleaves peptides preferentially at the carbonyl linkages of phenylalanine or leucine and acts as the principal digestive enzyme of gastric juice. Pepsin,Pepsin 1,Pepsin 3
D011502 Protein-Energy Malnutrition The lack of sufficient energy or protein to meet the body's metabolic demands, as a result of either an inadequate dietary intake of protein, intake of poor quality dietary protein, increased demands due to disease, or increased nutrient losses.

D005750 Gastric Juice The liquid secretion of the stomach mucosa consisting of hydrochloric acid (GASTRIC ACID); PEPSINOGENS; INTRINSIC FACTOR; GASTRIN; MUCUS; and the bicarbonate ion (BICARBONATES). (From Best & Taylor's Physiological Basis of Medical Practice, 12th ed, p651) Gastric Juices,Juice, Gastric,Juices, Gastric
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.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
