Efficacy of Lactobacillus casei treatment on small bowel injury in chronic low-dose aspirin users: a pilot randomized controlled study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Ghrelin, an appetite-promoting peptide secreted from the stomach, is reported to enhance preprandial acid output, possibly through stimulation of the cephalic phase. The present study was designed to clarify the dynamics of ghrelin in H(2) receptor (H(2)R)-null mice by genetic H(2)R knockout. METHODS:Fiftee...
