[Ultrastructural organization of the surface epithelium of gastric mucosa in vitamin A deficiency].
Under conditions of experimental A-avitaminosis in cells of superficial epithelium of the chicken stomach mucous membrane certain ultrastructural changes of cytoplasmic membranes takes place. Amount of transport vesicles decreases, regeneration of membranes in the Golgi complex cisterns, secretory vesicles and apical part of the external cellular membrane with development of apical erosions is disturbed. The problem on influence of the changes mentioned to the process of mucus formation, in particular to protein glycosylation in the Golgi complex is discussed. Insufficient vitamin A amount, getting into the organism results in a decreased resistivity of the stomach mucous membrane as a consequence of disturbances in processes of mucus formation and in safety of the apical part of the external cellular membrane of the superficial epithelium.
