The effect of truncal vagotomy and pyloroplasty on rat gastric mucosal H,K-ATPase and HCO3-ATPase activities was studied 15 and 30 days past the operation. A significant decrease in gastric body mucosal H,K-ATPase activity occurred 15 days after vagotomy, compared with pyloroplasty (p < 0.05) and non-operated control rats (p < 0.01). A recovery in the enzyme activity on the 30th postoperative day occurred. Gastric body and antral mucosal HCO3-ATPase activity was significantly (p < 0.01) decreased 15 and 30 days after vagotomy and pyloroplasty, compared with pyloroplasty controls. The observed changes in gastric mucosal H,K-ATPase and HCO3-ATPase activities after vagotomy reflect the decrease in gastric acid secretion, as well as the possible changes in mucosal bicarbonate secretion and acid-base status. A gradual recovery in mucosal H,K-ATPase activity after vagotomy may occur.

The gastric hormone gastrin plays a role in organizing the gastric mucosa. Gastrin also regulates the expression of genes that have important actions in extracellular matrix modelling, including plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1 which is part of the urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) system. The uPA system (including PAI-1) is associated with cancer progression, fibrosis and thrombosis.

The gastric acid secretion of juvenile Sparus aurata was characterized in Ussing chambers; secretion rates were determined by a pH-stat method at pH5.50 and bioelectrical parameters were measured in current-clamped tissues. The basal secretion equaled to 535±87nmol·cm(-2)·h(-1).

Purpose Of Review: This review summarizes the past year's literature regarding the regulation of gastric exocrine and endocrine secretion, both basic science and clinical.

Recent Findings: Gastric acid secretion facilitates the digestion of protein as well as the absorption of iron, calcium, vitamin B12, and certain medications as well as prevents bacterial overgrowth, enteric infection, and possibly community-acquired pneumonia, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, and IgE-mediated food allergy. It is regulated by neural (e.

Purpose Of Review: This review summarizes the past year's literature regarding the regulation and assessment of gastric acid secretion.

Recent Findings: Gastric acid secretion is regulated by biologic agents produced and released by enteroendocrine cells and neurons as well as by exogenously administered substances and infection. Too much acid can lead to gastroesophageal reflux disease, peptic ulcer disease, and stress-related erosion/ulcer disease.
