Separation of the large molecular components of pooled human gastric juice into fractions of different biological activity by means of the Amberlite IRC-50 resin column has been reported earlier (1-6). In the present study a modification of this technic has been adapted to the fractionation of individual specimens of gastric juice. These modifications have improved and further standardized the ...

CODE, CHARLES F., W. E. R. GREEN, J.C. KENNEDY, H. D. RITCHIE, AND J. F. SCHLEGEL. Metabolism of histamine in secreting intact and isoZated canine stomach. Am. J. Physiol. 230(l): 219-227. 1976. -Total 14C activity in juice secreted by gastric pouches of six dogs and seven isolated canine stomachs was determined in response to intravenous and intra-arterial infusions of histamine and [14C]hista...

INTRODUCTION Helicobacter pylori is one of the main causes of gastroduodenal diseases, such as chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer. It has been shown that eosinophils increase in the stomach in H. pylori infection. Eosinophilic cationic protein (ECP) is a cytotoxic molecule secreted by the activated eosinophils. However, there are no sufficient data about the role of ECP in H. pylori infection a...

In a previous article (1)) on the secretion of gastric juice in fever, it was reported that the concentration of’ chlorides in gastric juice was constant or slightly reduced. In this present paper I wish to emphasize the relation between the secretion of total chlorides in gastric juice and the secretion of free hydrochloric acid. Most of the data for this paper were obtained at that time but u...

OBJECTIVES Dalbergia sissoo Roxb. stem bark possesses anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and antioxidant properties. This plant is used traditionally in the Indian system of medicine to treat emesis, ulcers, leucoderma, dysentery, stomach complaints, and skin disorders. This study was conducted to evaluate the antiulcer effects of D. sissoo stem bark methanol extract (DSME) against the diclofenac ...

BACKGROUND Seroepidemiological and clinical studies suggest that Helicobacter pylori may cause iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) in the absence of peptic lesions by undefined mechanisms, which still remain to be fully elucidated. Gastric acidity and ascorbic acid (AA) promote iron absorption. AA is lowered in the presence of H pylori infection. H pylori can cause atrophic body gastritis with achlor...

Hamdi, A. E. (1969). Brit. J. industr. Med., 26, 126-134. Chronic exposure to zinc of furnace operators in a brass foundry. Twelve furnace operators with chronic exposure to zinc oxide fumes in a brass foundry and 10 normal non-exposed control subjects were studied. Simultaneous determinations of zinc concentrations in the plasma, blood corpuscles, whole blood, and urine were made for each work...
