GASTRIC EPITHELIUM IN THE DUODENUM

A H JAMES. Gut. 1964 Aug.

Abstract

It has been found that a ;gastric' type of epithelium tends to develop in the first part of the duodenum in patients with duodenal ulceration and is found in the second part of the duodenum in a patient with the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It is likely that ;gastric' epithelium appears when the duodenal acidity is high and it is resistant to ulceration.
