    Abstract:
    The antrum-fundic section and re-anastomosis (AESR), liberates, in Wistar male rats, genuine antral peptic ulcers. They start within 20 days. They are progressive evolution, penetrating into all gastric walls. Between 7 and 8 months, they involve near organs (spleen, liver, pancreas) and produce a great inflammatory reaction of the peripancreatic ganglions. The antral peptic ulcer is induced if the gastric lesser curvature's nerves are sectioned and a concomitant pyloroplasty is done or not. The gastric hemisection, if anterior or posterior, break out the peptic ulcer only on the same side of the antrum-fundic interruption. In all this situations, except in cases of concomitant pyloroplasty, it is proved a pronounced and significantly increase of the gastric (g/kg), but not pancreatic index. In the AFSR series with nervous section on the lesser curvature and without pyloroplasty, the percentage of antral peptic ulcers in 56%. It is postulated the probably existence, at an antrum-fundic level, of a neuroendocrine center. Its nullification or disturbance by the section and re-anastomosis procedure could generate the antral ulcer and other histologic changes (increase of the "G" cells, hyperplasia of the parietal, ECL and "A like" cells) by one or various hypothetical ways: 1. Direct action, nullifying the normal blocking function of somatostative over the "G" cells and or parietal cells. 2. Disturbing or nullifying the motor pump effect of the gastric antrum, and on this way, enhancing the duodenum-gastric reflux with all know deleterious effects of the bile in the antrum particularly in an acid milieu. 3. Modifying, in the opposite direction, the sensitivity by one hand, of the "G" cells mass and by the other one, of the parietal, ECL and "A like" cells. The depression of the fundic sensitivity will induce the hyperplasia of the "G" cells, the hypersecretion of gastrin and, "a posteriori", all the secretory effects and trophic characteristic of it. 4. Disturbing the prostaglandins secretion, perhaps through a deficit of the nervous innervation, with the resulting epiphenomenon of a cytoprotection deficit mediated through the mucus and bicarbonate production. It is probably that the proposed physiopathogenic mechanism are associated and that the final result, the antral peptic ulcer is the consequence of an increase of the aggressive factors (acid, bile) and a concomitant depression of the defensive factors (cytoprotection), starting normally by the prostaglandins through the mucus and bicarbonate secretion.
