Effects of fasting on mucus glycoprotein biosynthesis in rat stomach.
Biosynthetic activity of gastrin mucus glycoprotein in rats after fasting for 24 and 72 hr was studied by the organ culture technique. Fasting produced a slight reduction in gastric mucus glycoprotein biosynthesis in the corpus and antrum (about 70-90% of fed rats). Sulfation of gastric mucus glycoprotein was restrained in the corpus (18% in control for 72 hr).
