title: Implication of lipid peroxides in gastric ulcer formation in indomethacin-treated rats.
abstract: With the carrageenin food oedema assay, we studied in rats the effects of indomethacin on inflammation, gastric ulcers and lipid peroxide levels. Our results show a positive correlation between ulceration and plasma lipid peroxides. We suggest that the ulceration could be due to inhibition of prostacyclin synthetase by lipid peroxides.
