title: [The effect of dopamine and PGI2 on indomethacin and alcohol-induced gastric lesions in rats of various ages in relation to gastric vascular permeability and HCl secretion].
abstract: Gastric lesions induced by indomethacin (20 mg.kg-1 i.p.) and ethanol (1 ml 95% intragastrically) were studied in rats after a 24 hour fast. The size of gastric lesions was correlated with gastric HCl secretion and with gastric vascular permeability (determined from the Evan's blue concentration in the gastric tissue after its i.v. administration). These parameters were also studied in rats pretreated with either PGI2 (5 micrograms.kg-1) or dopamine (0.5 mg.kg-1). It was found that in 12-months old rats the gastric lesions were significantly higher compared with the 3-month old group. PGI2 and dopamine significantly decreased gastric lesions in the 3-month rats but not in 12-month old rats. Both indomethacin and ethanol increased gastric vascular permeability in both age groups. It was observed that the decrease of gastric lesions after pretreatment with PGI2 and dopamine in the 3-month old rats was followed with decreased gastric vascular permeability and HCl secretion. On the other hand the increased susceptibility of the gastric mucosa due to indomethacin in the 12-month old rats was followed by a decrease of HCl secretion. PGI2 or dopamine had any effect on the 12-month old rats. These results show that susceptibility of gastric mucosa to PGI2 and dopamine is dependent on age. (Fig. 3, Ref. 31.)
