Bile acids, the "barrier," and reflux-related clinical disorders of the gastric mucosa.
The present communication represents an effort to provide an overview of the available evidence (and speculation) which suggests that an interrelationship exists between bile acids, the so-called "gastric mucosal barrier," and certain clinical diseases of the gastric mucosa in which reflux of upper intestinal content appears to be a pathophysiologic common denominator.
