The present study was carried out to clarify the mechanism of histamine-induced gastric mucosal damage in rats. Following an injection of histamine (80 mg/kg), pH dropped within 30 min. and then recovered control value (pH = 4-5) 4 hr later. The decrease in mucosal mucin content and the appearance of haemorrhagic erosions followed the drop in pH. The recovery of mucosal mucin content preceded the healing of haemorrhagic erosions and pH recovery to the control level. Histamine also caused qualitative changes in corpus mucins. These qualitative changes induced by histamine were eliminated at 7 hr following the administration of histamine. It appears from the present results that increase in HCl and decrease in mucins induced by histamine bring about gastric damage.

D009844 Oligosaccharides Carbohydrates consisting of between two (DISACCHARIDES) and ten MONOSACCHARIDES connected by either an alpha- or beta-glycosidic link. They are found throughout nature in both the free and bound form. Oligosaccharide
D002241 Carbohydrates A class of organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a ratio of Cn(H2O)n. The largest class of organic compounds, including STARCH; GLYCOGEN; CELLULOSE; POLYSACCHARIDES; and simple MONOSACCHARIDES. Carbohydrate
D005752 Gastric Mucins Mucins that are found on the surface of the gastric epithelium. They play a role in protecting the epithelial layer from mechanical and chemical damage. Gastric Mucin,Mucin, Gastric,Mucins, 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.
