Dynamic changes of the function and ultrastructure of gastric parietal cells under stress ulcer in rats / 中国病理生理杂志

ABSTRACT

AIM: To evaluate the dynamic changes of the function and ultrastructure of gastric parietal cells under stress and their relation with acute gastric mucosal lesions. METHODS: Thirty-two male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups, which were control group and 1,2,4 h groups under water restraint stress (WRS). The gastric fluid pH value and gastric mucosal ulcer index(UI) were measured. The ultrastructural changes of parietal cells were observed by transmission electronic microscopy (TEM). RESULTS: The study demonstrated that gastric acid secretion increased and gastric fluid pH value decreased gradually and significantly under WRS compared with control group( P
