Popis: A marked hyperplasia of the gastric mucosa was observed in rats after partial obstruction to the gastric outflow had been produced by tying a ligature around the duodenum. The effect was characterized by increases in the weight, surface area, and mucosal volume of the fundus and antrum, and there were proportional increases in the total parietal and total peptic cell populations. These effects were interpreted to mean that obstruction had caused an increase in the number of glands in the two parts of the stomach. The results suggest that the hyperplasia was due in some way to physical distension of the stomach since all of the other changes observed could be accounted for by the increase that occurred in surface area.
