Abstract: | Summary Oral administration to fasted rats of absolute ethanol produces extensive necrotic lesions of gastric mucosa as well as a massive leakage of proteins and mucus glycoproteins into gastric lumen. When the new synthetic prostaglandin MDL 646, belonging to the PGE1 series, is administered intragastrically (2 or 10 g/kg) 30 min before ethanol administration, a significant protection of rat gastric mucosa against alcohol injury is observed.This work was supported in part by a contribution from Ministero della Pubblica Istruzione (MPI), Rome, Italy. |
