Gastric cytoprotection: morphological perspectives.

In 1979, a new mechanism of gastric defense named cytoprotection was followed by numerous reports elucidating this interesting and important phenomenon. During this decade, however, the concept and definition of gastric cytoprotection have been modified from the morphological and ultrastructural viewpoints. This review attempts to describe the concept and mechanisms of cytoprotection as well as its pathophysiological features. Specifically, in vitro studies using isolated cells or monolayer cultured cells as well as molecular investigations of signal transduction system have been documented.
