	Duodenal Ulcer
		Duodenal ulcer is considered to be a benign form of internal disorder compared to stomach ulcer (gastric ulcer) that is known to cause serious complications and in some cases even cancer.
		If the ulcer occurs at the level of the stomach, it is called stomach or gastric ulcer.
		Ulcers developed in the lining of either the duodenum or stomach, in the presence of pepsin and hydrochloric acids, are called peptic ulcers.

		Gastric ulcers in foals (less than 50 days of age) and adult horses are commonly located in the non-glandular region of the stomach adjacent to the margo plicatus along the greater curvature and lesser curvature.
		Ulcers in the squamous mucosa are primarily due to prolonged exposure to hydrochloric acid, pepsin, bile acids or organic acids.
		Ulcers in the glandular mucosa are primarily due to disruption of blood flow and decreased mucus and bicarbonate secretion, which results in back diffusion of hydrogen ions and damage to the underlying submucosa.

	Peptic ulcer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A peptic ulcer is an ulcer of one of those areas of the gastrointestinal tract that are usually acidic.
		The gastric mucosa protects itself from gastric acid with a layer of mucous, the secretion of which is stimulated by certain prostaglandins.
		Gastric peptic ulcer is a mucosal defect which penetrates the muscularis mucosae and muscularis propria, produced by acid-pepsin aggression.

	Gastric Ulcer
		Gastric ulcers are most common in males between the ages of 55 and 70.
		Gastric ulcers most commonly are caused by the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen.
		Gastric ulcers may also develop from the presence of bacteria called Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), decreased resistance of the lining of the stomach to gastric acids, increased production of gastric acids and infection, certain types of medication, and disorders that cause over secretion of stomach juices.
