The aim of this study is to define the effect(s) of centrally administered neurotensin (NT) on gastric mucosal integrity, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) generation, and blood flow during stress induced by cold-water restraint (CWR) in rats. Intracerebroventricular (icv) NT reduced macroscopic and microscopic damage. The former effect was dose dependent and was totally blocked by indomethacin pretreatment. Gastric mucosal PGE2 increased 27 and 30% at 30 and 60 min, respectively, in nonrestrained rats given icv NT. PGE2 generation was reduced in control rats during CWR but was maintained in CWR rats treated with icv NT. Gastric mucosal blood flow (GMBF) was significantly reduced in control rats during CWR. Mucosal blood flow was maintained at nonrestraint levels in the presence of icv NT during CWR; however, this effect was abolished by parenteral indomethacin pretreatment. Similarly, intravenous 16,16-dimethyl-PGE2 (200 micrograms.kg-1.h-1) maintained GMBF of non-CWR levels as well as preventing the macroscopic damage normally associated with CWR. These data suggest a protective role for central NT on the gastric mucosa, mediated, at least in part, by PGE2 generation and gastric mucosal blood flow.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007213 Indomethacin A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID) that inhibits CYCLOOXYGENASE, which is necessary for the formation of PROSTAGLANDINS and other AUTACOIDS. It also inhibits the motility of POLYMORPHONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES. Amuno,Indocid,Indocin,Indomet 140,Indometacin,Indomethacin Hydrochloride,Metindol,Osmosin
D007276 Injections, Intraventricular Injections into the cerebral ventricles. Intraventricular Injections,Injection, Intraventricular,Intraventricular Injection
D008297 Male Males
D009496 Neurotensin A biologically active tridecapeptide isolated from the hypothalamus. It has been shown to induce hypotension in the rat, to stimulate contraction of guinea pig ileum and rat uterus, and to cause relaxation of rat duodenum. There is also evidence that it acts as both a peripheral and a central nervous system neurotransmitter.
D011919 Rats, Inbred Strains Genetically identical individuals developed from brother and sister matings which have been carried out for twenty or more generations or by parent x offspring matings carried out with certain restrictions. This also includes animals with a long history of closed colony breeding.

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.

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.
