Component

Acidity of the gastric lumen

Acidity of the gastric lumen. 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.

What it does

Every recorded relationship this component is part of, grouped by its role. Plain wording comes first; the technical statement follows.

Where it participates (unsigned role)

  1. Neither sodium salicylate nor acetylsalicylic acid given intravenously affected intramural pH or caused ulceration at luminal pH 7 or 3.5, but at luminal pH 1 both compounds caused ulceration and subtle changes in net ion fluxes without altering intramural pH, and since intravenous sodium salicylate and acetylsalicylic acid both cause ulceration but only acetylsalicylic acid alters prostaglandin synthesis, interference with prostaglandin metabolism does not appear to be a prerequisite for the occurrence of ulceration.

    Measurement of intramural pH in the antral mucosa with ulceration scoring across luminal pH and routes of administration

    Luminal and intravenous sodium salicylate and acetylsalicylic acid at luminal pH 7, 3.5 and 1
    limitations
    Separates the two compounds and the two routes against a controlled luminal acidity. The comparison of prostaglandin effects is stated rather than measured in this study.

    The metabolite, which does not touch prostaglandins, ulcerates the stomach just as the drug does, so prostaglandins are not the whole story.
