title: [The effects of nizatidine and misoprostol on peptic activity and gastric mucus].
abstract: The effects of Nizatidine, an H2-receptor antagonist, and Misoprostol, a PGE1 analogue, on gastric pH, pepsin, pepsinogen group I and N-acetylneuraminic acid concentration were evaluated in a group of 20 patients with duodenal ulcer. Nizatidine decreased pepsin concentration while it increased gastric pH, although not to a significant degree and left pepsinogen group I and N-acetylneuraminic acid concentration unchanged. Misoprostol did not modify gastric pH, pepsin and N-acetylneuraminic acid values but it increased pepsinogen group I levels. These data support the view that H2-receptor antagonists, especially Nizatidine, and Misoprostol do not directly affect pepsin and/or N-acetylneuraminic acid concentration.
