abstract

objective(s) gastric ulceration is induced by various forms of stress like surgery, ischemia and trauma. the female sex has more resistance to stress and the gastrointestinal lesions happen fewer than male sex. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of estradiol and progesterone on the gastric acid and pepsin levels following traumatic brain injury (tbi) induction. materials and methods diffuse tbi was induced by marmarou method in female rats. rats randomly assigned into 9 groups: intact, ovx (ovarectomized rat), sham+ovx, tbi (intact rats under tbi), tbi+ovx (ovarectomized rats under tbi) and  treated  ovx  rats  with  vehicle  (sesame  oil),  e2  (estradiol),  p4  (progesterone)  or  e2+p4 combination. the acid content and pepsin levels of each gastric washout sample were measured 5 days after the tbi induction. results there was no significant difference in gastric acid output between groups either after tbi induction or after treatment with e2 or p4 or e2+p4. gastric pepsin levels were increased in sham+ovx, tbi (p< 0.001) and tbi+ovx (p< 0.05) compared to intact group. gastric pepsin levels were significantly lower in e2 and e2+ p4 treated rats than vehicle treated group (p< 0.01). p4 treatment increased gastric pepsin level compared to tbi+ovx group (p< 0.05) and this increment was higher than rats that were treated with the e2 and e2+p4 (p< 0.01). conclusion these results suggest that protective effect of estradiol and e2+p4 combination against mucosal damage after tbi, might be mediated by inhibition of pepsin secretion.

The Effects of Female Sex Steroids on Gastric Secretory Responses of Rat Following Traumatic Brain Injury

Objective(s) Gastric ulceration is induced by various forms of stress like surgery, ischemia and trauma. The female sex has more resistance to stress and the gastrointestinal lesions happen fewer than male sex. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of estradiol and progesterone on the gastric acid and pepsin levels following traumatic brain injury (TBI) induction. Materials and M...

The Role of Proinflammatory Cytokines in Mediation of Brain Antiedema Effect of Female Sex Steroids Following Traumatic Brain Injury

Background & Aims: Release of proinflammatory cytokines after traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of brain edema. Previous studies demonstrated that sex steroids decrease brain edema induced by TBI. In this study changes of brain cytokines after the administration of estrogen and progesterone 24 hours after TBI were evaluated. Materials and Methods: Female rats were divided into 7 gro...

The Effects of Shilajit on Brain Edema, Intracranial Pressure and Neurologic Outcomes following the Traumatic Brain Injury in Rat

  Objective(s): Brain edema is one of the most serious causes of death within the first few days after trauma brain injury (TBI). In this study we have investigated the role of Shilajit on brain edema, blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, intracranial pressure (ICP) and neurologic outcomes following brain trauma.   Materials and Methods: Diffuse traumatic brain trauma was indu...

The Effects of Cyclooxygenase Inhibitors on the Brain Inflammatory Response Following Traumatic Brain Injury in Rats

Objective(s) Cytokines such as IL-1β are involved in inflammatory responses. This study evaluated the role of two different kinds of drugs (ibuprofen and celecoxib) on brain IL-10 and IL-1β after traumatic brain injury (TBI) in male rats. Materials and Methods Rats were assigned into 6 groups: intact, sham, TBI, and treated rats with vehicle, celecoxib or iboprophen. Cytokine concentrations ...

Effects of sex steroid hormones on neuromedin S and neuromedin U2 receptor expression following experimental traumatic brain injury

Objective(s): Neuroprotective effects of female gonadal steroids are mediated through several pathways involving multiple peptides and receptors after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Two of these peptides are including the regulatory peptides neuromedin U (NMU) and neuromedin S (NMS), and their common receptor neuromedin U2 receptor (NMUR2). This study investigates the effects of physiological do...
