Is arachidonic acid protected gastric mucosa more resistant to rechallenge with a second dose of ethanol? 1986

A Tarnawski, and D Hollander, and J Stachura, and V Dadufalza, and H Gergely

In our previous studies we found that pretreatment with arachidonic acid protects the gastric mucosa against ethanol-induced injury. In the present experiments we studied whether: gastric mucosa protected with arachidonic acid against ethanol injury is more resistant to a subsequent second ethanol injury, and whether a second ethanol dose produces further damage of the nonprotected damaged gastric mucosa in a control group. We found that: rechallenge with a second ethanol dose increases the extent of gastric mucosal necrosis in control rats; once protected (with arachidonic acid) the gastric mucosa is more resistant to subsequent ethanol rechallenge but some deep necrosis occurs and restoration of the surface epithelium is somewhat impaired when compared to the initial injury and repair. Thus, pretreatment of the gastric mucosa with a prostaglandin precursor dietary essential fatty acid confers excellent protection against alcohol damage with some residual protective activity against a subsequent rechallenge with alcohol.

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.

D000431 Ethanol A clear, colorless liquid rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and distributed throughout the body. It has bactericidal activity and is used often as a topical disinfectant.

D016718 Arachidonic Acid An unsaturated, essential fatty acid. It is found in animal and human fat as well as in the liver, brain, and glandular organs, and is a constituent of animal phosphatides. It is formed by the synthesis from dietary linoleic acid and is a precursor in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes.
