Effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on rat gastric mucosal phosphodiesterase activity
Abstract:
In the present study, the effects of acetylsalicylic acid, diclofenac, ibuprofen, indomethacin, naproxen, phenylbutazone, proquazone, fluproquazone (RF 46-790 N), sulindac (sulfoxide and sulfide forms) and tolfenamic acid were compared on rat gastric mucosal cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs). Some of the drugs inhibited PDEs effectively, the Ki values being clearly lower than those of theophylline. Mostly the type of inhibition was apparently competitive. Acetylsalicylic acid and ibuprofen were ineffective. No unambiguous correlation between the inhibition of mucosal PDEs and clinically observed gastric irritation was found. However, the inhibition of PDEs may modulate gastric side-effects of NSAIDs.

Pathophysiology of Peptic Ulcer Disease: Injurious Factors
In the antrum region, G cells secrete the gastrin hormone that binds to gastrin-cholecystokinin-B (CCK2) receptors on parietal and enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells in the fundic glands. Simultaneously, the vagus nerve releases acetylcholine, which binds to M3...

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
Peptic Ulcer Disease I: Introduction
An acute ulcer, marked by superficial erosion and minimal inflammation, swiftly resolves upon identifying and addressing the underlying cause. In contrast, a chronic ulcer persists, potentially eroding through the muscular wall and forming fibrous tissue.
Peptic ulcers can also be...
