  • Title: The effect of graded single oral doses of prostacyclin on the nucleic acid content of rat gastric mucosa.
    Author: Bálint GA.
    Journal: Acta Physiol Hung; 1992; 79(4):395-8. PubMed ID: 1285286.
    Abstract:
    Graded single oral doses of prostacyclin significantly enhance in dose-dependent manner the DNA and RNA content of rat gastric fundic mucosa, - resulting in a decreased RNA/DNA ratio. This latter phenomenon is convincing sign of new cell formation. In the antral region no significant changes could be encountered but the RNA content showed a tendency-like elevation, evoking an elevated RNA/DNA ratio, which corresponds to de novo protein synthesis. The diversity of the noted changes gives further evidence to the tenet the antral and the fundic gastric mucosa of the rat reacts differently toward external stimuli.
