Cellular composition of the proper gastric glands.

<p>(A) Fundus mucosa. (B) Corpus mucosa at the greater curvature opposite to the GCC. (C) Mucosa surrounding the CGG orifices. (D) Corpus mucosa close to the pylorus. (E) The CGG. Cells were counted in ca. 500 000 µm² areas that contained longitudinal sections through the gastric glands, as described in “<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0094590#s2" target="_blank">Material and methods</a>”. Total number of cells forming the glands was taken as 100%. The presented data are means and standard deviations (n = 12).
