Our study has been conducted in order to histologically analyze the morphologic changes that occur in the fundus area of the stomachs of diabetic and non-diabetic mice and designate the immunohistochemical distribution of the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in the stomach. Forty-five Swiss albino mice have been divided into control, sham, and diabetic groups for the study. Streptozotocin at the dose of 100mg/kg has been administered intraperitoneally (IP) to the end of inducing diabetes. Mice with blood glucose levels higher than 200mg/dl have been deemed diabetic. Stomach tissues of the specimens were collected on the 3rd, 15th, and 30th days. H&E stain has been performed on the sections in order to examine the histological structure of the fundus area of the stomach. The Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex (ABC) method has been performed in order to determine the immunoreactivity of HGF. In the study, it has been found that bodyweight had been decreased in the diabetic group compared to other groups. There was no difference in the histological structure of the stomach tissue of diabetic rats compared to the control group. HGF has been observed to demonstrate immunolocalization on similar areas in the diabetic, control, and sham groups. HGF immunoreactivity has been found to react in a milder way in the diabetic group compared to other groups. We think that the study we have conducted will usher in future studies in this field and help explain the relationship between diabetes and the fundus area of the stomach since no immunohistochemical study explaining this relationship has been found in the literature.
