Helicobacter pylori-infected subjects exhibited a strong decline in antral secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) levels compared to H. pylori-negative subjects and subjects from whom H. pylori had been eradicated (P = 0.002). This reduction was specific for the antrum, whereas SLPI expression in corpus and duodenum was not affected. Antral SLPI levels were inversely correlated with inflammatory scores of antrum-predominant gastritis.
