title: Sucralphate in the prevention of acute gastric lesions induced by ischemia-reperfusion.
abstract: The role of sucralphate in prevention of acute gastric injuries and its comparison with free radical blockers such as allopurinol, soybean trypsin inhibitor and superoxidase dismutase in the ischemia-reperfusion model by total occlusion of the coeliac artery in Wistar rats, was studied. The gross gastric mucosal necrotic area was 80%. In contrast with the antioxidant drugs the necrotic area attained was between 7 to 15%, while with sucralphate, an antioxidant-cytoprotective drug that enhances the gastric defensive barrier, the prevention of the secondary aggression induced by free radicals was more important.
