Talk:Gastric mucosal barrier

Inhibition of bicarbonate secretion
Please provide a source for the following sentence, if you want it back in the article - I do not believe that this statement is true and it is not derived from the source given: NSAIDs inhibit mucus and bicarbonate secretion, and thus by diminishing the gastric mucosal barrier, make the stomach lining more vulnerable to damage.Iridos 03:00, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

More Protection Methods
Correct me if I am wrong, but i though that there were five main methods through which the stomach can protect itself i.e. Mucous layer, bicarb, epithelial tight junctions, prostoglandins and the ability of quick regeneration. This article lists only three. 61.68.50.65 (talk) 10:24, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
