title: [Participation of glucocorticoid hormones in gastroprotection during ischemia and ischemia-reperfusion in rats].
abstract: The investigation concerned glucocorticoid hormones participation in gastroprotection during ischemia and ischemia-reperfusion in rats. Gastric ischemia was performed by occlusion of celiac artery in anaesthetized rats. The stomach was exposed to brief ischemia as well as brief or prolonged ischemia-reperfusion. Deficiency of glucocorticoid production (created by adrenalectomy or by metyrapone pretreatment) and occupation of glucocorticoid receptors by the antagonist RU-38486 were used to estimate the participation of glucocorticoids. Gastric ischemia and ischemia-reperfusion induced plasma corticosterone rise. The deficiency of corticosterone production as well as the occupation of glucocorticoid receptors resulted in aggravation of gastric mucosal damage produced by ischemia and ischemia-reperfusion. Thus, glucocorticoid hormones do participate in gastroprotection during ischemia and ischemia-reperfusion in rats.
