title: Stress-induced vascular damage and ulcer.
abstract: Factors controlling gastric mucosal blood flow are now better understood, and improved techniques have been established to study microcirculation in the gastrointestinal tract. In this paper, four areas are reviewed: gross and microscopic vessels that supply blood to the stomach; factors that control gastrointestinal blood flow; pathogenic role of disturbed mucosal blood flow circulation induced by stress; and findings in early vascular permeability and injury caused by cold restraint stress in the rat.
