Popis: The number of mast cells in the mucosa of the glandular stomach of the rat decreased on account of degranulation 2–4 hours after histamine and insulin injections and after ingestion of food. Re-granulation of the mast cells occurred in a later phase. Morphological changes were established in the mast cell granules during gastric stimulation. Tissue eosinophilia of the lamina propria of the glandular stomach increased at the beginning of the stimulation, decreasing in a later phase. Lethal insulin shock caused an increase in the tissue eosinophilia of the glandular stomach. The role of the heparin and histamine contained in the mucosal mast cell granules during the stimulation of the gastric mucosa, in the phase in which the ion changes and local heparinemia in the mucosal lamina propria perhaps provoke inhibition of eosinolysis, is suggested.
