Cell Proliferation during the Development of Stress Erosions in Mouse Stomach

Abstract

THE surface of the gastric mucosa, which is continually replaced by rapidly proliferating epithelial cells1, is prone to erosion under stress. These lesions occur in man2,3 and are induced in animals by various experimental procedures4,5. Stress of short duration decreases the frequency of mitosis in the stomach of the rodent6.
