Metabolic activity of lymphocytes was evaluated in ulcer patients with different acid-production function. Measurement of succinic dehydrogenase and alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase of the mitochondria showed that acid production activity brought about variations in the activity of alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase suggesting activation of a reserve path of the cell energy supply. The data obtained on the strain of the local defence and repair processes in gastric mucosa of patients with ulcer running with hyperacidity especially upon cicatrization of the lesion, provide a basis for the disease outcome.
