[Animal experiments on the prevention of acute gastric mucosa erosions using vitamin A].
A significant reduction of vitamin A serum levels was observed in rats which underwent a hypoxic stress. The number of gastric ulcerations secondary to stress can be significantly reduced by 125 000 to 250 000 I. E. of vitamin A applicated parenterally prior or with the onset of stress. Consequently a prophylaxis of stress ulcerations appears to be possible by application of vitamin A.
