Definitions

1. Gastric Juice is a clear, colourless fluid secreted by the mucous membrane of the stomach, and is the chief agent in digestion.
2. Gastric juice, the normal secretion of the stomach, then begins its work of further transformation. (Web site)
3. Gastric juice is secreted from the lining of the stomach walls, along with mucus, which helps to protect the stomach lining from the action of the acid. (Web site)
4. Gastric juice is composed of digestive enzymes and concentrated hydrochloric acid, which can readily digest food or kill microorganisms. (Web site)
5. Gastric juice is composed of digestive enzymes and concentrated hydrochloric acid, which can readily tear apart the toughest food or microorganism.

Gastric Juice Samples

1. Alternatively, gastric juice samples can be obtained with the capsuled string without repeating the endoscopy procedure. (Web site)

Relationship

1. There was no relationship between VacA in gastric juice and vacA genotype. (Web site)

Entry

1. Upon entry into the stomach, vitamin B 12 becomes bound to one of two B 12 binding proteins present in gastric juice. (Web site)

Associated

1. The presence of gastric juice antibodies to H. pylori antigens was associated with more severe gastric inflammation. (Web site)

Result

1. Possibly as a result of these oxidising reactions there are measurably lower levels of vitamin C and other antioxidants in the gastric juice of sufferers. (Web site)

Functions

1. Describe the functions of the following components of gastric juice.

Sensitive

1. We applied a very sensitive and simple method, bead-ELISA, to detect VacA in gastric juice. (Web site)
2. In the presence of PPI, gastric juice PCR was more sensitive than histology.

String

1. Once inside the stomach, the capsule dissolves and the string avidly absorbs gastric juice. (Web site)

Culture

1. Perez-Trallero and colleagues obtained gastric juice with the capsuled string and used it for culture (15). (Web site)

Levels

1. Plasma and gastric juice total vitamin C levels were measured at baseline, at the end of 4 weeks treatment and again 4 weeks after treatment cessation.

Serum

1. Serum and gastric juice antibodies to H. pylori whole-cell and CagA antigens were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. (Web site)

Acidic

1. The gastric juice, which is in the stomach, is highly acidic with a pH of 1-3.

Long-Term Treatment

1. Candida overgrowth in gastric juice of peptic ulcer subjects on short- and long-term treatment with H2-receptor antagonists.

Gastric Biopsies

1. Leptin and total ghrelin levels in serum, gastric biopsies, and gastric juice were determined by specific ELISAs. (Web site)

Food

1. The sensory stimuli, which are activated just prior to eating, provoke strong release of gastric juice depending on the quantity and type of food eaten.

Bacterial Overgrowth

1. The bacterial overgrowth is probably associated with a shift to neutral pH in the gastric juice caused by the H2-receptor antagonists. (Web site)
2. Bacterial overgrowth was found in the jejunal fluid and gastric juice of both ulcer patients and healthy volunteers after omeprazole treatment.

Helicobacter Pylori

1. Effects of high dose vitamin C treatment on Helicobacter pylori infection and total vitamin C concentration in gastric juice. (Web site)
2. Urease-positive bacteria other than Helicobacter pylori in human gastric juice and mucosa. (Web site)

Pcr Assay

1. About 0.5 ml of gastric juice is absorbed by 10 cm of the string, an amount which is sufficient for the PCR assay described below. (Web site)
2. Gastric juice samples aspirated through the endoscope and stored frozen can be used afterward for the PCR assay (data not shown). (Web site)

Patients

1. These studies were problematic because patients were fasted for endoscopy and so saliva, gastric juice, and duodenal juice levels were low.
2. Gastric juice PCR was able to detect positively 7 (19%) patients who were negative on histology.

Nasogastric Tube

1. This information is important since gastric juice can be aspirated through a nasogastric tube without gastroduodenoscopy. (Web site)

Detection

1. Gastric juice PCR has been evaluated as a highly specific and rapid method for the detection of H pylori. (Web site)

Gastric Biopsy Specimens

1. Serum, gastric juice, and gastric biopsy specimens were obtained from 89 patients undergoing endoscopy. (Web site)

Mucous Membrane

1. Peptic Ulcer is a chronic ulcer formed in regions of the gastrointestinal tract where gastric juice comes in direct contact with mucous membrane.

Biopsies

1. Informed consent was obtained from all patients for EGD with biopsies from the antrum and corpus of the stomach and aspiration of gastric juice.

Cultured

1. Because of the high acidity of the gastric juice only a few bacteria (mainly lactobacilli) can be cultured from the normal stomach. (Web site)
2. RESULTS: Cysteamine was not detected in any of the gastric juice samples or in extracts of cultured H pylori.

Urease

1. Urease cleaves the urea which occurs in small concentrations in gastric juice into ammonia and carbon dioxide. (Web site)

Pylori

1. Gastric juice allows the detection of H. pylori by culture, staining, urease test, and PCR, but it is less reliable than gastric biopsy specimens.
2. BACKGROUND: Vitamin C in gastric juice and in vitro has been shown to inhibit the growth of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). (Web site)
3. We now demonstrate that by using the BabA and SabA adhesins, H. pylori bind MUC1 isolated from human gastric cells and MUC1 shed into gastric juice.

Vitamin

1. In all patients, gastric juice vitamin C levels were determined and the severity of gastritis was graded on a scale of 0 (absent) to 3 (severe). (Web site)
2. Helicobacter pylori infection and gastric juice vitamin C levels. (Web site)
3. Relationship of Helicobacter pylori CagA(+) status to gastric juice vitamin C levels. (Web site)

Secretion

1. The brain in turn sends messages to nerves in the stomach wall, stimulating the secretion of gastric juice before the arrival of the food. (Web site)
2. For example; if a quantity of citric acid is taken into the stomach it will diminish the secretion of gastric juice.
3. Too much tannic acid will affect the secretion of the gastric juice, irritate the membrane of the stomach and cause indigestion or constipation.

Gastrin

1. The more protein there is in the stomach, the more gastrin will be produced, and the greater the production of gastric juice. (Web site)

Ascorbic

1. Effect of eradication of Helicobacter pylori on gastric juice ascorbic acid concentrations.
2. Helicobacter pylori-associated gastritis and the ascorbic acid concentration in gastric juice.

Pepsin

1. Pepsin: Oral cimetidine 300 mg reduced total pepsin output as a result of the decrease in volume of gastric juice. (Web site)

Stomach

1. The stomach is a sack-like organ that holds food and mixes it with gastric juice to begin the process of digestion. (Web site)
2. A hormone secreted by glands in the mucous membrane of the stomach that stimulates the production of gastric juice. (Web site)
3. The stomach begins its production of gastric juice while the food is still in the mouth. (Web site)

Gastric Juice

1. Ascorbic acid and total vitamin C concentrations in plasma, gastric juice, and gastrointestinal mucosa: effects of gastritis and oral supplementation.
2. An ulcer may form in any part of the digestive tract which is exposed to acid gastric juice, but is usually found in the stomach and the duodenum. (Web site)
3. This causes gastric glands in the lining of the stomach to secrete gastric juice. (Web site)
