Nebivolol, a β(1)-adrenoceptor antagonist, exhibits vasodilatory and anti-oxidative properties that rendering it attractive candidate for protecting against gastric ulcer. The aim of this study therefore is to evaluate the protective effects of nebivolol against cold restraint stress (CRS)-induced gastric ulcer in rats. Rats were restrained, and maintained at 4°C for 3 h. Nebivolol (5 mg/kg, p.o.) was suspended in 0.5% aqueous solution of carboxymethyl cellulose and was administered 30 min before CRS. Nebivolol exhibited gastroprotective effects as evidenced by significant decreases in ulcer index as well as free and total acid output, and pepsin activity in gastric juice in addition to gastric mucosal malondialdehyde concentration, with concomitant increases in gastric juice pH and mucin concentration along with gastric mucosal reduced glutathione and nitric oxide (NO) concentrations compared with CRS rats. Moreover, immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that nebivolol treatment markedly enhanced heme oxygenase-1 as well as cyclooxygenase-1 and cyclooxygenase-2 expressions. The protective effects of nebivolol were confirmed by gastric histopathological examination. Pretreatment with N(ω)-nitro-L-arginine, a NO synthase inhibitor, partly altered the protection afforded by nebivolol. In conclusion, nebivolol protected rats' gastric mucosa against CRS-induced gastric ulceration possibly through anti-oxidant activity, enhancement of gastric mucosal barrier and reduction in acid secretory parameters.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D009569 Nitric Oxide A free radical gas produced endogenously by a variety of mammalian cells, synthesized from ARGININE by NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE. Nitric oxide is one of the ENDOTHELIUM-DEPENDENT RELAXING FACTORS released by the vascular endothelium and mediates VASODILATION. It also inhibits platelet aggregation, induces disaggregation of aggregated platelets, and inhibits platelet adhesion to the vascular endothelium. Nitric oxide activates cytosolic GUANYLATE CYCLASE and thus elevates intracellular levels of CYCLIC GMP.

D005750 Gastric Juice The liquid secretion of the stomach mucosa consisting of hydrochloric acid (GASTRIC ACID); PEPSINOGENS; INTRINSIC FACTOR; GASTRIN; MUCUS; and the bicarbonate ion (BICARBONATES).

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.

D006651 Histocytochemistry Study of intracellular distribution of chemicals, reaction sites, enzymes, etc., by means of staining reactions, radioactive isotope uptake, selective metal distribution in electron microscopy, or other methods. Cytochemistry
D006899 Mixed Function Oxygenases Widely distributed enzymes that carry out oxidation-reduction reactions in which one atom of the oxygen molecule is incorporated into the organic substrate; the other oxygen atom is reduced and combined with hydrogen ions to form water. They are also known as monooxygenases or hydroxylases. These reactions require two substrates as reductants for each of the two oxygen atoms. There are different classes of monooxygenases depending on the type of hydrogen-providing cosubstrate (COENZYMES) required in the mixed-function oxidation.

D000068577 Nebivolol A cardioselective ADRENERGIC BETA-1 RECEPTOR ANTAGONIST (beta-blocker) that functions as a VASODILATOR through the endothelial L-arginine/ NITRIC OXIDE system.
