Barrett's esophagus (BE) patients demonstrate a higher distal esophageal acid exposure profile than other gastroesophageal reflux disease patients. Cellular oxidative stress has been proposed to contribute to the development of BE and esophageal adenocarcinoma. However, a relationship between low esophageal pH and oxidative stress has yet to be elucidated. The aim of this study was to determine the duration of low pH exposure in the esophagus of BE patients compared to those with erosive esophagitis (EE) and to test if brief exposure to low pH leads to the induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS).Seventy-three patients with BE or EE were evaluated by 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring and the percentage of time during which there was exposure to pH
