Abstract
⺠Neuronal SP decreased in gastritis and it further decreased in the presence of H. pylori. ⺠VIP and NEP in both disease-involved and uninvolved mucosa decreased in gastritis or ulcer. ⺠Decreased levels of VIP and SP fragments might be responsible from chronic gastritis. ⺠VIP analogs might be used in chronic gastritis and ulcer. ⺠Decreased SP levels in H. pylori (+) patients may predispose to malignancy.
