Healing Process of Acetic Acid-Induced Gastric Ulcer and Gastric Mucosal Prostaglandin E Generation Level in Rats

[摘要] References(9)Cited-By(2)The prostaglandin E (PGE) generation level (PGE level) in the gastric mucosa was investigated in relation to the healing and relapse of acetic acid-induced gastric ulcers in the rat. The PGE level around ulcers showed higher levels after ulcer induction and decreased during the ulcer diminishing period. Thereafter, the PGE levels showed an inclination to increase during the ulcer exacerbation period. In reulcerated rats, PGE levels were significantly higher. In conclusion, a high level of PGE may indicate an ulcer exacerbation state.
