Gastric sensitivity and reflexes: basic mechanisms underlying clinical problems.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Angiogenesis is essential for gastric ulcer healing. Recent results suggest that vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 (VEGFR1), which binds to VEGF, promotes angiogenesis. In the present study, we investigated the role of VEGFR1 signaling in gastric ulcer healing and angiogenesis. METHODS:Gastric u...
