BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown that ammonia produced by Helicobacter pylori urease or administrated intragastrically exhibits a toxic effect on the gastric mucosa. In the present study we investigated the influence of histamine and gastric acid secretion on ammonia (NH4OH)-induced gastric lesions. METHODS The gastric mucosa in rats was exposed to NH4OH (1.5 ml of 250 mM solution) under basal conditions, after administration of histamine (1 mg/kg), urea with urease, and ranitidine (40 mg/kg subcutaneously) given alone or in combination. We measured the area of gastric lesions, gastric blood flow (GBF), plasma gastrin concentration, DNA synthesis, gastric acid secretion and gastric luminal concentration of PGE2. RESULTS Application of NH4OH resulted in the formation of acute gastric lesions. This effect was accompanied by a fall in GBF, a rise in gastric pH, and a reduction in mucosal DNA synthesis. Administration of histamine 30 min prior to NH4OH reduced the area of gastric lesions. This was accompanied by an increase in GBF, DNA synthesis, and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production. Ranitidine given prior to NH4OH enhanced gastric mucosa damage, and reduced GBF and DNA synthesis. This effect was accompanied by a reduction in gastric acid secretion. Ranitidine given prior to histamine abolished gastric acid secretion and the protective effect of histamine against NH4OH-induced damage; these effects were accompanied by a decrease in GBF, DNA synthesis, and concentration of PGE2. Pretreatment with 2% urea with urease given prior to NH4OH reduced NH4OH lesions. This effect was associated with an increase in gastric acid secretion, gastric generation of PGE2, GBF, and DNA synthesis. Ranitidine given prior to urea with urease inhibited gastric acid secretion and the gastroprotective effect of urea-urease gastroprotection. CONCLUSIONS Histamine and gastric secretion exhibit a protective effect against ammonia-induced gastric lesions. This effect appears to depend upon the stimulation of gastric acid secretion and PGE2 production, and the improvement of gastric microcirculation.

D011899 Ranitidine A non-imidazole blocker of those histamine receptors that mediate gastric secretion (H2 receptors). It is used to treat gastrointestinal ulcers.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D005753 Gastric Mucosa Lining of the STOMACH, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. The surface cells produce MUCUS that protects the stomach from attack by digestive acid and enzymes. When the epithelium invaginates into the LAMINA PROPRIA at various region of the stomach (CARDIA; GASTRIC FUNDUS; and PYLORUS), different tubular gastric glands are formed. These glands consist of cells that secrete mucus, enzymes, HYDROCHLORIC ACID, or hormones.

D006632 Histamine An amine derived by enzymatic decarboxylation of HISTIDINE. It is a powerful stimulant of gastric secretion, a constrictor of bronchial smooth muscle, a vasodilator, and also a centrally acting neurotransmitter. Ceplene,Histamine Dihydrochloride,Histamine Hydrochloride,Peremin
D006635 Histamine H2 Antagonists Drugs that selectively bind to but do not activate histamine H2 receptors, thereby blocking the actions of histamine. Their clinically most important action is the inhibition of acid secretion in the treatment of gastrointestinal ulcers. Smooth muscle may also be affected. Some drugs in this class have strong effects in the central nervous system, but these actions are not well understood.

D000641 Ammonia A colorless alkaline gas. It is formed in the body during decomposition of organic materials during a large number of metabolically important reactions. Note that the aqueous form of ammonia is referred to as AMMONIUM HYDROXIDE.
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
