Gastroduodenal mucosal defence

Gastroduodenal mucosal defence. Species, exposure and limitations are retained in each linked claim.

1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

Where it participates (unsigned role)

  1. A range of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents including acetylsalicylic acid, fenclofenac, ibuprofen and indomethacin inhibit gastric bicarbonate transport in isolated mucosal preparations, effects which can be antagonised by exogenous prostaglandins of the E series, and while the secreted mucus gel overlying the epithelial surface is not affected in the short term a number of these agents inhibit glycoprotein biosynthesis by the epithelial cells, so that loss of this protective coat could be anticipated during chronic exposure as erosion by luminal shear and proteolysis would not be compensated by continued secretion.

    The stomach’s own defences are built by prostaglandins, so blocking them removes the coat rather than adding an acid.
