The adrenergic mechanisms of the inhibition of the gastric acid-forming function in acute stress

It was demonstrated in experiments on Wistar rats that blockade of central adrenergic structures by thymopentin and beta-adrenergic receptors by inderal prevents stress inhibition of hydrochloric acid secretion. Normalization of the antioxidative protection of the stomach which prevents activation of the processes of free-radical oxidation in it plays an essential role in the mechanism of the stress-protective effect of adrenergic influences blockade on the gastric acid-producing function.
