Abstract: | We have studied the protective effects of truncal vagotomy, atropine, and PGE2 against gastric mucosal injury produced by necrotizing agents (0.2 N NaOH, 0.6 N HCl, absolute ethanol), acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and HCl, or serotonin (5HT). Vagotomy, atropine, and PGE2 prevent the effects of different noxious agents. Vagotomy is protective only against 5HT and against ASA+0.15 N or 0.35 N HCl, whereas atropine and PGE2 are also protective against the necrotizing agents. The effectiveness of vagotomy against ASA+0.35 N HCl does not depend on the inhibition of acid secretion and supports the hypothesis that removal of the vagal drive counteracts the effect of H+ back-diffusion. |
