The effect of chemiosympathectomy on the incidence of stress-induced gastric erosions.
The numbers of gastric erosions induced experimentally by prolonged immobilization stress were observed following guanethidine-induced sympathectomy and various durations of post-stress rest period. The results were statistically significant and indicate the importance of the sympathetic nervous system and the post-stress rest period in the pathogenesis of stress-induced erosions.
