Gastroprotective effect of luminal gastrin

Experiments on mongrel rats have revealed that ulceration of mucous membrane of the stomach achieved by vinculum of pylorus is formed only in 47% of animals. In this case luminal secretion of gastrin in the rats with unaffected mucous membrane was higher, while the serum secretion--lower than in the rats with injured one. A conclusion is made on the gastroprotective effect of serum gastrin.
