چکیده
The effects of baclofen, a gamma-amino-n-butyric acid receptor B agonist, on gastric carcinogenesis induced by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine and how its effects are influenced by selective (M1) and non-selective (M1 and M2) pharmacological blockade of muscarinic receptors were investigated in inbred Wistar rats. Rats were given s.c. injections of 8 mg/kg body wt baclofen with and without 0.5 mg/kg body wt atropine (non-selective M1 and M2 muscarinic receptor antagonist) or 1.0 mg/kg body wt pirenzepine (selective M1 muscarinic receptor antagonist) every other day after a 25 week carcinogen treatment. At week 52 baclofen significantly decreased the incidence of gastric cancers. Concomitant treatment with atropine significantly attenuated the inhibition by baclofen of gastric carcinogenesis, but combined use with pirenzepine had no significant effect on the inhibition by baclofen of gastric carcinogenesis. Baclofen also significantly decreased the labeling index of the antral mucosa. Baclofen plus atropine attenuated the decrease in the labeling index of the antral mucosa due to baclofen, but baclofen plus pirenzepine had no significant effect on the labeling index. These results suggest that the inhibition of gastric carcinogenesis by baclofen is mediated through muscarinic receptors and M2 receptors, but not M1 receptors, are involved in this response.

Effect of prolonged administration of gastrin on experimental carcinogenesis in rat colon induced by intrarectal instillation of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine.
The effect of tetragastrin on the incidence and histology of colonic tumors induced by intrarectal instillation of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine was investigated in Wistar rats. Prolonged administration of tetragastrin in depot form during and after treatment with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine resulted in a significant reduction in the incidence of colonic tumors in Experimental W...

The effect of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) on the initiation of gastroduodenal carcinogenesis induced by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) was examined under the conditions with and without sodium chloride. Male Wistar rats were given drinking water containing MNNG (100 mg/liter) and one of the following diets during the first 20 weeks ad libitum. Group 1 was given basal diet; group 2, d...

Endoscopy can be used for sequential observation of gastric carcinogenesis in animal models. In the present study, we applied endoscopic examination and biopsy technique on N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG)-induced stomach cancer in rats using a newly-developed flexible 2.5 mm endoscope. A total of 36 rats were divided into MNNG-treated and non-treated groups, observed on gastric endo...

سابقه و هدف: در بخش های مختلف کلیه هر سه ایزوفرم نیتریک اکساید سنتاز (NOS) موجود می باشد. شواهدی دال بر اثرات سودمند فعالیت NOS اندوتلیالی (eNOS ) پس ازبرخی انواع آسیب های بافتی وجود دارد و به همین دلیل مهار کامل NOS در این شرایط موجب بدتر شدن عملکرد اعضا می شود. از سوی دیگر پیشنهاد شده که فعال شدن NOS القایی (iNOS) آسیب را تشدید و در نتیجه مهار آن ایجاد بهبودی می کند. در مطالعه حاضر احتمال سود...
