title: [Compensatory gastroprotective action of glucocorticoid hormones in the rats with ablation of capsaicin-sensitive neurons].
abstract: We tested the hypothesis that contribution of glucocorticoids in gastroprotection become especially important during ablation of capsaicin-sensitive neurons. For this, the effect of desensitization of capsaicin-sensitive neurons on the gastric mucosa was compared in groups of rats with different glucocorticoid supply: sham-operated and adrenalectomized without and with corticosterone replacement (4 mg/kg sc). Functional ablation of capsaicin-sensitive neurons was performed with neurotoxic doses of capsaicin (20 + 30 + 50 mg/kg sc). Indomethacin in the dose 35 mg/kg was given as an ulcerogenic stimulus. It was shown that combination of adrenalectomy with desensitization of capsaicin-sensitive neurons potentiated the effect of sensory desensitization alone on indomethacin-induced gastric erosions. Corticosterone replacement prevented this effect of adrenalectomy. The results suggest a pivotal compensatory role of glucocorticoids in maintenance of gastric mucosal integrity during ablation of caspsaicin-sensitive sensory neurons.
