One feature of fully developed AG is enterochromaffin cell-like (ECL) hyperplasia, but its presence or absence in earlier stages of AG has not been fully evaluated. A retrospective study of biopsy ...

result in the development of hyperplasia of enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells and carcinoid tumours. Here this discrepancy will be discussed by contrasting pathological changes in transgenic mouse ...

Another important site where histamine is stored and released is in the enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells of the stomach. Histamine is released at the mucosal surfaces as a result of exposure to ...

We know little about these taste buds, known as enterochromaffin cells. They first provoked curiosity when it was discovered that they produce 90 per cent of the body’s serotonin, a chemical ...

the researchers showed how cells in the intestinal lining called enterochromaffin (EC) cells alert the nervous system to signs of trouble in the gut, from bacterial products to inflammatory food ...
