Gastrointestinal cytoprotection by prostaglandins.
Prostaglandins (PGs) are widely distributed throughout the gastrointestinal tract and affect a variety of gastrointestinal functions. The observation that PGs of the E and A series are potent inhibitors of gastric acid secretion and that PGs, especially the E compounds, are released into the gastric lumen during vagal or gastrin stimulation suggests a possible physiological role for these agent...
متن کاملGastrointestinal Cytoprotection by PPARγ Ligands
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is a nuclear receptor that is known to play a central role in lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity as well as inflammation and cell proliferation. According to the results obtained from studies on several animal models of gastrointestinal inflammation, PPARγ has been implicated in the regulation of the immune response, particularly inflam...
متن کاملNSAIDs, gastrointestinal injury, and cytoprotection.
Gastrointestinal toxicity caused by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is the most frequent drug side effect in the United States. NSAIDs are implicated in the development of complicated peptic ulcer disease and injury to the small bowel and colon. NSAIDs interfere with prostaglandin-mediated epithelial defense mechanisms and also cause direct epithelial toxicity. Current and future ...
متن کاملMild irritants prevent gastric necrosis through "adaptive cytoprotection" mediated by prostaglandins.
Several prostaglandins (PG) were found earlier to be cytoprotective for the stomach and the intestine. We now report that mild irritants, given intragastrically, are also cytoprotective by stimulating the release of PG by the stomach. Several "mild irritants," 10-20% ethanol, 0.2-0.35 M HCl, 0.05-0.075 M NaOH, 2-4% NaCl, and water at 70 degrees C, were given orally to fasted rats. Fifteen minut...
متن کاملRole of mucosal prostaglandins and DNA synthesis in gastric cytoprotection by luminal epidermal growth factor.
This study compares the effect of epidermal growth factor and prostaglandins (PGE2 or PGI2), applied topically to gastric mucosa, on gastric secretion and formation of ASA-induced gastric ulcerations in rats. Epidermal growth factor given topically in non-antisecretory doses prevented dose-dependently the formation of ASA-induced ulcers without affecting prostaglandin generation but with a sign...
