  • Title: Stimulation by BW755C and inhibition by cysteamine of duodenal epithelial alkaline secretion suggest a role of endogenous prostaglandin in mucosal protection.
    Author: Flemström G, Bridén S, Kivilaakso E.
    Journal: Scand J Gastroenterol Suppl; 1984; 92():101-5. PubMed ID: 6429842.
    Abstract:
    Alkaline secretion by 12 mm segments of duodenum just distal to the Brunner's glands area was titrated in situ in anesthetized rats. Intravenous injection of the lipoxygenase inhibitor BW755C (10-20 mg/kg) increased the surface epithelial HCO3- secretion and pretreatment with indomethacin prevented this effect. This supports the view that endogenous production of prostaglandins is important in control of duodenal epithelial HCO3- secretion and ulceroprotection . Pretreatment with cysteamine (100 mg/kg) inhibited the ability of the duodenal surface epithelium to respond to luminal acid with a compensatory rise in alkaline secretion. Measurement of pH at the mucosal surface with microelectrodes revealed that acidification of this surface occurred simultaneously with the decline in alkaline secretion.
