Loperamide hci is an over the counter medication that is used to treat diarrhea. There is potential that loperamide can reduce stomach cramps that are associated with diarrhea.
The stomach secretes hydrochloric acid (HCl) to help with the breakdown of food and to kill bacteria that may be present in the food.
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is produced by parietal cells in the stomach, while pepsinogen is produced by chief cells in the stomach. Together, HCl and pepsinogen play important roles in the chemical digestion of food in the stomach.
Pepsin is an enzyme secreted in the stomach to break down proteins. Mucus on the other hand is produced in the nasal passages to help trap dirt and bacteria. The mucus is then transported to the back of our throats and into our stomach by the process of swallowing... mmm, tasty. *** Mucus protects the stomach from the gastric juices and hydrochloric acid (HCI). Pepsin is produced by the chief cells, and is turned into pepsinogen (by the hormone gastrin produced in the brain). Pepsinogen helps break down proteins in your stomach.
cell-->secretion-->function: 1)mucus cell-->goblet cells-->acidic mucus, 2)chief cell-->pepsinogen-->protein digesting enzyme, 3) parietal cell-->HCl and intinsic factor-->provides surface area, and 4) G cell-->gastrin(hormone)-->regulates stomach secretion.
Anti diarrheal
I do not know what you mean by 'hci'. Loperamide is an oral tablet given usually for diarrhoea. I checked the British national Formulary 2008, and it does not give , 'falling hair' as a side effect. Even I have not encountered this in my practice. You may wait for more answers.
In stomach
The acid in your stomach is HCl with a lowercase L.
Its in a diluted form. Therefor its much more neutralized.
Pepsin is the enzyme that starts the digestion of proteins in the stomach. Specifically, it acts on proteins and breaks them into polypeptides
The stomach secretes hydrochloric acid (HCl) to help with the breakdown of food and to kill bacteria that may be present in the food.
it does actually effect the stomach lining, but DNA in your stomach lining cells learn to produce cells faster. The stomach lining keeps burning away cells, but cells keep being produced.
HCI commonly refers to hydrogen chloride, which is a colorless, caustic, and highly corrosive gas. It is commonly used in industrial processes such as cleaning and chemical manufacturing. Additionally, it is a common component in stomach acid.
HCL (Hydrochloric acid, made from a ionic bonding of Hydrogen and Chlorine) in the stomach is an acid that dissolves the things you eat.
HCI, or hydrochloric acid, plays a crucial role in the stomach by activating pepsinogen into pepsin, a digestive enzyme that breaks down proteins. It also helps to denature proteins in food, making them more accessible for digestion. Additionally, HCI creates an acidic environment that helps to kill off harmful bacteria that may be present in ingested food.
