Introduction: Recently, hydrogen sulfide has been introduced as the third gas that acts as a transmitter. It has many physiological and pharmacological roles in the human body. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of exogenously administered and endogenously produced H2S on the basal and distention-induced gastric acid secretion in rats. Methods: Forty-nine male Wistar...

Introduction: The protective and antisecretory effects of dopamine agonists on the stomach have been already reported, but the effect of bromocriptine (D2 dopamine agonist) on histamine stimulated gastric acid secretion (GAS) needs to be investigated. Methods: For gastric sampling, animals were anesthetized and a polyethylen tube was introduced into the stomach through esophagus. A cannula ...

Objective(s): Prostaglandins have been shown to mediate the gastro-protective effect of sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) but effect of NaHS on mRNA expression of prostaglandin E2 receptors (EP1, 3-4; EPs) has not been investigated. Therefore, this study designed to evaluate the effect of NaHS on mRNA expression of EPs receptors in response to mucosal acidification and distention-induced gastric acid ...

objective(s): prostaglandins have been shown to mediate the gastro-protective effect of sodium hydrosulfide (nahs) but effect of nahs on mrna expression of prostaglandin e2 receptors (ep1, 3-4; eps) has not been investigated. therefore, this study designed to evaluate the effect of nahs on mrna expression of eps receptors in response to mucosal acidification and distention-induced gastric acid ...

KW-5805, 5-[2-(diethylamino)ethyl]amino-5,11-dihydro[1]benzoxepino[3,4- b]pyridine trihydrochloride, is a new tricyclic compound with antiulcer activities. Its effect on stimulated gastric acid secretion was investigated in the perfused stomach of anesthetized rats. KW-5805 at 0.3-10 mg/kg, i.v., dose-dependently inhibited gastric acid secretion stimulated by 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG). On the ot...

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors play an important role in the regulation of gastric acid secretion stimulated by acetylcholine; nonetheless, the precise role of each receptor subtype (M(1)-M(5)) remains unclear. This study examined the involvement of M(1), M(3), and M(5) receptors in cholinergic regulation of acid secretion using muscarinic receptor knockout (KO) mice. Gastric acid secretion...

objective(s) ziziphora clinopodioides lam. is a plant widely used in iranian traditional medicine for gastrointestinal disorders. several reports have demonstrated antibacterial (helicobacteria pylori), antioxidant and anti­inflammatory properties of z. clinopodioides. the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of aqueous- ethanol extract of z. clinopodioides on rat’s gastric acid out...
