Abstract

The role of Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) in the physiology of regeneration and protection of the digestive tract has been thoroughly studied. Oral EGF accelerates healing of gastroduodenal ulcers in animals. The rate of healed patients in the groups treated with EGF increased with time, lowering the difference as compared to cimetidine group. This may indicate that EGF has a long-term healing effect. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the oral use of EGF in humans.
