title: Thrombotic etiology of stress ulcers. 1. The effect of anticoagulant and antiplatelet aggregators in the development of stress ulcers in rats.
abstract: The preventative effect of anticoagulant (heparin) and antiplatelet aggregators (dipyridamole, low-dose aspirin, and ticlopidine), which are well known as antithrombotic agents, were recognized in this study of the development of stress ulcers in rats under cold restraint stress. On the basis of these findings, we suggest that the development of stress ulceration has a thrombotic etiology and that antiplatelet aggregators may be useful in the treatment of critically ill patients with stress ulcers.
