Oxygen-derived free radicals have been implicated as possible mediators in the development of tissue injury induced by ischemia and reperfusion. Clamping of the celiac artery in rats reduced the gastric mucosal blood flow to 10% of that measured before the clamping. The area of gastric erosions and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) reactants in gastric mucosa were significantly increased 60 and 90 min after clamping. These changes were inhibited by treatment with SOD and catalase. Thirty and 60 min after reoxygenation. produced by removal of the clamps following 30 min of ischemia, gastric mucosal injury and the increase in TBA reactants were markedly aggravated compared with those induced by ischemia alone. SOD and catalase significantly inhibited these changes. The serum alpha-tocopherol/cholesterol ratio, an index of in vivo lipid peroxidation, was significantly decreased after long periods of ischemia (60 and 90 min), or after 30 and 60 min of reperfusion following 30 min of ischemia. These results indicated that active oxygen species and lipid peroxidation may play a role in the pathogenesis of gastric mucosal injury induced by both ischemia alone and ischemia-reperfusion. Although, allopurinol inhibited the formation of gastric mucosal injury and the increase in TBA reactants in gastric mucosa, the depletion of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) counts induced by an injection of anti-rat PMN antibody did not inhibit these changes. As compared with the hypoxanthine-xanthine oxidase system. PMN seem to play a relatively small part in the formation of gastric mucosal injury induced by ischemia-reperfusion.

D002374 Catalase An oxidoreductase that catalyzes the conversion of HYDROGEN PEROXIDE to water and oxygen. It is present in many animal cells. A deficiency of this enzyme results in ACATALASIA. Catalase A,Catalase T,Manganese Catalase,Mn Catalase
D002784 Cholesterol The principal sterol of all higher animals, distributed in body tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord, and in animal fats and oils. Epicholesterol
D005609 Free Radicals Highly reactive molecules with an unsatisfied electron valence pair. Free radicals are produced in both normal and pathological processes. Free radicals include reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). They are proven or suspected agents of tissue damage in a wide variety of circumstances including radiation, damage from environment chemicals, and aging. Natural and pharmacological prevention of free radical damage is being actively investigated. Free Radical
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.
