Abstract
LPS appears to induce a release of PC from gastric mucosa into the lumen, along with degradation of PC to lyso-PC, without an effect on PC synthesis. Component(s) of intestinal reflux material appear to be required for these effects. The lowered PC levels in gastric mucosa after LPS may contribute to reduced barrier properties of this tissue.
