Decreased Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Expression Is Associated With Cell Apoptosis in Low-Dose Aspirin-Induced Gastric Mucosal Injury

our findings provide important clues as to the underlying molecular mechanism behind gastric mucosal injury resulting from exposure to LDA in elderly adults, and also suggest that interventions specifically targeting the pathways associated with angiogenesis and apoptosis may help facilitate the healing process.
