Effect of fasting on mucosal blood flow in antrum and corpus of the stomach. 1976

T V Taylor, and B R Pullan, and H B Torrance

Gastric mucosal blood flow in the rat was determined by the indicator fractionation technique 86RbCl. Antral and corpus flow rates were determined after increasing periods of fasting, and the effect of vagotomy was assessed. The physiological stimulus of food in the stomach markedly increased antral as well as corpus blood flow, and after vagotomy lower flow rates were recorded in all parts of the stomach. With progressive starvation, the antral:corpus flow ratio decreased. The findings suggest that the antrum plays an active role in response to a physiological stimulus and may, as has been suggested by others, contribute to the control of parietal cell blood flow and secretion.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011706 Pyloric Antrum The region between the sharp indentation at the lower third of the STOMACH (incisura angularis) and the junction of the PYLORUS with the DUODENUM. Pyloric antral glands contain mucus-secreting cells and gastrin-secreting endocrine cells (G CELLS).

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.

D014628 Vagotomy The interruption or removal of any part of the vagus (10th cranial) nerve. Vagotomy may be performed for research or for therapeutic purposes. Vagotomies
D014630 Vagus Nerve The 10th cranial nerve. The vagus is a mixed nerve which contains somatic afferents (from skin in back of the ear and the external auditory meatus), visceral afferents (from the pharynx, larynx, thorax, and abdomen), parasympathetic efferents (to the thorax and abdomen), and efferents to striated muscle (of the larynx and pharynx).
