title: [The role of enterochromaffin-like cells in physiology and pathology of stomach and duodenum].
abstract: During recent years, gastric ECL cells have attracted much attention, mainly due to the fact that mice and rats were found to develop gastric carcinoids following lifelong treatment with blockers of acid secretion. We present the structure and functions of ECL cells and their influence on physiology and pathology of stomach and duodenum. We describe interactions of enzymes and hormones in histamine-stimulated gastric output.
