[Effect of obstructive jaundice on the electrophysiological characteristics of the gastric mucosa and gastric acid secretion in rats].
To elucidate the effect of jaundice on the electrophysiological characteristics of the gastric mucosa and gastric acid secretion, gastric mucosal potential difference (PD) and gastric acid secretion were measured in rats with obstructive jaundice. Also transepithelial potential difference (TEPD), short circuit current (Isc) and transepithelial electrical resistance (Rt) were measured in the isolated gastric mucosa of rats with obstructive jaundice. Secondly, to confirm whether the alteration of these parameters were induced by jaundice and increased serum bile acids in the jaundiced rats, the effects of biliary drainage on the electrophysiological characteristics and gastric acid secretion, and the effects of bile acid (TCA) on TEPD, Isc, Rt were evaluated. PD, TEPD, Isc and gastric acid secretion were reduced in the jaundiced rats, and tended to recover after biliary drainage. TEPD and Isc were reduced significantly by TCA administration. These results suggest that active ion transport in the gastric mucosal cells and gastric acid secretion are impaired in jaundiced rats and the increased serum bile acid in jaundiced rats may cause these dysfunctions and the impaired active ionic transport function is improved by biliary drainage.
