Abstract
Degraded carrageenan, a sulphated polysaccharide, is shown to hinder the diffusion of pepsin through mucin in vitro when it is mixed with the mucin before the application of the pepsin solution. It is suggested that this property is part of the mechanism by which degraded carrageenan protects experimental animals from histamine ulceration.Keywords
