31.   Low concentrations of ethanol caused an increase in the content of cyclic AMP in human corporic gastric mucosa in vitro.

32.   They also caused a dose dependent increase in activity of histamine sensitive gastric adenylate cyclase in guinea pig gastric mucosa.

33.   It is possible that ethanol liberates hstamine from cells containing histamine in the gastric mucosa.

34.   In the study by Chacin et al on isolated toad gastric mucosa beer and wine had an effect similar to low concentrations of ethanol.

35.   This may throw more light on the mechanism of action of the alcoholic beverages on the gastric mucosa and possibly on other organs.

36.   The lesion has been described as a volcano with central whitish discoloration projecting from an otherwise normal gastric mucosa.

37.   Symptomatic patients with excessive DGR and a positive provocation test might be expected to benefit from treatment designed either to prevent DGR or to protect the gastric mucosa.

38.   Furthermore, the state of the gastric mucosa was not described.

39.   An age dependent decline in acid output and gastric secretory volume has been reported in old subjects with normal gastric mucosa.

40.   In contrast, gastric heterotopia represents a presumably congenital misplacement of fully developed gastric mucosa, including chief cells and parietal cells.
