pepsinogen

High values of serum pepsinogen A have also been found during omeprazole treatment.

Leptin has been found in the pepsinogen granules of chief cells.

Use pepsinogen if possible for more accurate results.

(Only use pepsinogen and acid under direct supervision of your teacher.

It also has the function of stimulating pepsinogen secretion by chief cells.

Serum pepsinogen I shows little response to eating.

There was no relationship between the serum pepsinogen I concentration and type of renal replacement treatment.

The mechanism for the abnormal pepsinogen values in the various patient groups is not fully elicidated.

Individual values of activated pepsinogen showed significant increased activity in 10 of the 13 patients tested (Figure).

Activated pepsinogen was significantly reduced in the stomach of H pylori positive patients only.

Decreased concentrations of activated pepsinogen were found in H pylori positive patients only.

Gastric juice in the stomach also contains pepsinogen and prorennin.

Pepsinogen values were similar in all the anatomical areas tested in all patients.

The peptic activity obtained in these aliquots was considered to represent pepsinogen concentration.

Gastric chief cells produce pepsinogen, which is activated by the acid to form pepsin.

This results in a failure to activate pepsinogen to pepsi and so denature proteins.

In the stomach, chief cells release pepsinogen.

This enzyme is formed from pig pepsinogen B.

Enzymes like pepsin are created in the form of pepsinogen, an inactive zymogen.

A low pepsinogen A:C ratio was found in all patients with hypertrophic gastropathy.

The following three genes encode identical human pepsinogen A enyzmes:

A fourth human gene encodes gastricsin also known as pepsinogen C:

From these findings, it can be suggested that pepsinogen genes are involved in the pathogenesis of peptic ulcer.

In fact, measurement of pepsinogen concentrations had been proposed as a method for screening of gastritis.
