title: Gastrin (G) cells in gastric carcinoma.
abstract: The behaviour of gastrin cells in the antral mucosa in gastric carcinoma was electron microscopically investigated using specimens of surgically resected stomachs. The results pointed out that in gastric carcinoma there takes place a change of the types of G cell population in the antral mucosa. In this condition, a significant fact was the predominance of intestinal G cells, known to store mainly G 34.
