D. Biernacka et al., Relationship between mast cells/parietal cells and maximal/basal acid output ratio in chronic gastritis, RES EXP MED, 200(1), 2000, pp. 35-41
Mast and parietal cells were concomitantly demonstrated in biopsies from co
rpus mucosa of patients with various forms of chronic gastritis. The ratio
of mast/parietal cells and the ratio of maximal and basal acid output were
negatively correlated.
