GEC proliferation in normal and ulcerated gastric mucosa of young and aging rats determined by PCNA staining. In aging rats, the number of PCNA-positive ECs was reduced by 46% ± 5% in normal gastric mucosa and by 31% ± 2% in ECs in ulcerated gastric mucosa compared with young rats. PCNA staining in normal gastric mucosa of young rats is expressed as 100%.
