초록

The protective effect of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) on gastic ulcer induced in rats has been studied. Gastic ulceration was induced by hypothemic restraint stress or dicolofenac sodium. Gastic acid secretion and mucosal injury produced by the hypothemic restraint stress was greater as compared with those produced by diclofenac sodifum. ATP significantly reduced area of injury, however, increased cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cATP) content. Administration of dipyridamole along with ATP did not change the total lesion area in both models when compared to ATP alone. Aminophyline antagonized antagonized the protective effect of ATP on the injured area. Famotidine was found to be effective in reducing gastric acid output as well as the total injured area without any change in cAMP content when given along with ATP.
