it is concluded first that albumin is not secreted by the chief and parietal cells of the mucosa and probably passes through the gastric wall between the cells of the mucosa , perhaps during the exfoliation of the surface epithelial cells , and secondly that the stomach is one of the sites of serum albumin breakdown , a fact that supports the view that the gastrointestinal tract plays a major role in the catabolism of serum albumin .
