Abstract excerpt
Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats are a new model of a congenital defect of the CCK-A receptor gene and should be useful for determining CCK-A receptor function. Since the CCK-A receptor plays an important role in gastrointestinal function, in the present study we examined, using OLETF rats, the hypothesis that a defect of the CCK-A receptor may influence gastric mucosal integrity. The gastric...
