61.   A review of the surgical specimen showed that the gastric mucosa contained very numerous lymphoid follicles with follicular centres suggestive of benign lymphoid infiltration.

62.   This study examined whether the phospholipid composition of the full thickness gastric mucosa is changed in peptic ulcer disease and gastritis.

63.   In conclusion, the phospholipid composition of gastric mucosa changes in human gastrointestinal diseases but its relation to cellular functions needs further study.

64.   The gastric mucosa resists the corrosive effects of peptic hydrochloric acid secretion and noxious extrinsic agents.

65.   It is difficult to separate the phospholipid surface layer of the gastric mucosa from the structural lipids of the cell membranes.

66.   Data on the phospholipid composition in gastric mucosa differ, but there is general agreement on the predominance of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine.

67.   We investigated the total phospholipid composition of human gastric mucosa from endoscopic biopsy specimens in patients with peptic ulcer disease or gastritis, and in normal subjects.

68.   The procedure described above was carried out with the gastric mucosa sample, the phospholipid mixture, and the mucosa sample and phospholipid mixture together.

69.   Tables II and III show the absolute and percentage values respectively of each phospholipid class from the gastric mucosa of the three groups studied.

70.   Recently, Schmitz and Renooij analysed the phospholipid composition of the gastric mucosa in surgical samples from four patients who had partial gastrectomy for peptic ulcer.
