The present study was undertaken to determine the effect of azoxymethane (AOM) administration on intestinal metaplasia induced by X-irradiation in male Donryu rats. Five-week-old animals were X-irradiated with two doses of 10 Gy each at a 3-day interval or three X-ray doses of 10 Gy at a 2-day interval and then received AOM injections i.m. at a dose of 15 mg/kg body weight once weekly for 3 weeks, 6 months after irradiation. Alkaline phosphatase positive foci were decreased after AOM treatments, but aberrant crypt like-foci appeared within areas of intestinal metaplasia. In contrast no induction was observed in normal-appearing gastric mucosa.

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.

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.
