Abstract

The protective effect of cetraxate, an antiulcer and antigastritis agent, on HCl.ethanol-induced gastric lesions was investigated in rats. Oral administration of 1 ml of HCl.ethanol (60% ethanol in 150 mM HCl) induced within 1 hr linear hemorrhagic necrosis in the gastric mucosa. Either oral or intraperitoneal treatment with cetraxate (30-300 mg/kg) significantly inhibited such macroscopic gastric lesions in a dose-related manner, and the inhibition at the oral highest dose (300 mg/kg) was practically complete. Histological analysis also confirmed that cetraxate effectively prevented deep mucosal necrosis, but showed that it was without protective effect on the surface epithelial disruption and submucosal edema in response to HCl.ethanol. The antilesion activity of cetraxate was of statistically significance for at least 3 hr after a single injection, and it was hardly affected by the removal of the gastric contents just prior to application of the necrotizing agent. However, subcutaneous treatment of rats with indomethacin (5 mg/kg) resulted in a partial but significant attenuation in the protection afforded by cetraxate, suggesting that dual mechanisms related and unrelated to endogenous prostaglandins may be involved in its protective activity. The results demonstrate that cetraxate is a potent cytoprotective agent effectively preventing the formation of gastric mucosal necrosis induced by HCl.ethanol.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 August 2019.
All research outputs
#8,533,995
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Pharmacological Sciences
#382
of 1,610 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#9,487
of 49,645 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Pharmacological Sciences
#6
of 26 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,610 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 49,645 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 26 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 3rd percentile – i.e., 3% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
