Resumen: The effect of experimental protein malnutrition on gastrin producing cells in the antral part of the stomach was studied in male Wistar rats. Isoenergetic diets containing 25% (C-25) or 6% (PD-6) were given in isocaloric amounts during a 4-month experiment. All rats were offered drinking water ad libitum. The results showed that the long-term protein diet did not produce changes in the gastrin cell number. At the ultrastructural level G cells exhibited a decreased size of the nucleus. They were found to have an increased total granule volume density but the volume density of dense-cored granules was lower. The serum gastrin levels were significantly lowered by feeding the low protein diet. These changes are compatible with decreased functional activity of G cells under long-term protein deprivation.
