Abstract | BACKGROUND: MATERIAL/METHODS: 182 patients were studied, 102 non-operated and 80 after distal gastric resection. Biopsy specimens were taken endoscopically from the gastric mucosa 2 cm proximal to the stoma or corresponding upper third of the intact stomach. Gastritis was classified according to the Sydney system. The activity of adenosine deaminase in the mucosal homogenates was measured by determination of ammonia liberated from the substrate and expressed in nmol NH3/mg protein/min. RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS:
