Abstract

Circadian variations of the gastrin cell (G-cell) number, the DNA synthesizing cell (S phase cell) number and labelling index of G-cell in antral mucosa were studied using the simultaneous double immunoenzymatic labelling method of gastrin and bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) both in fed and 24 h fasted rats. No significant change was observed in the G-cell number. The S phase cell number and labelling index of G-cell showed significant circadian rhythms. Labelling index of G-cell markedly decreased in 24 h fasted rats in comparison to that in fed rats. These results suggest that DNA synthesis in G-cells has a circadian rhythm and that the activity is influenced by food ingestion.
