title: The effect of different prostaglandins on rat gastric mucosa. Scanning electronmicroscopic investigations.
abstract: According to the present investigations prostaglandins showed a specific morphologic effect on (rat) gastric mucosa. Namely: During their effect the foveolae of the mucosa have opened; - which is a convincing sign of mucus production. This phenomenon (i.e. the foveola-opening), showed a direct correlation with the cytoprotective (anti-ulcerogenic) effect of the investigated prostaglandins in the order of PG-I2 > PG-E1 > PG-F2 alpha > 6-keto-PG-F1 alpha.
