The effect of dipyridamole on experimentally induced stress ulcers. 1982

R S Paret, and R Kumashiro, and Y Kodama, and T Matsumoto

Several doses of dipyridamomle were tested to assess a reduction in gastric bleeding and ulcer formation in rats exposed to cold stress restraint. When saline was compared to 12.5 mg/kg dipyridamole and 50 units/kg heparin, dipyridamole was significantly better than saline controls (P less than 0.05) in the reduction of both gastric bleeding and gastric ulceration, while the effects of heparin were not significant in either case. Finally, mean hematocrit, platelet count, and gastric acid secretion were not significantly affected by the dose of dipyridamole used (12.5 mg/kg). The results of this study show dipyridamole to be useful in the reduction of both stress ulceration and gastric bleeding induced in rats by cold stress restraint.

D006400 Hematocrit The volume of packed RED BLOOD CELLS in a blood specimen. The volume is measured by centrifugation in a tube with graduated markings, or with automated blood cell counters. It is an indicator of erythrocyte status in disease. For example, ANEMIA shows a low value; POLYCYTHEMIA, a high value.

D006493 Heparin A highly acidic mucopolysaccharide formed of equal parts of sulfated D-glucosamine and D-glucuronic acid with sulfaminic bridges. The molecular weight ranges from six to twenty thousand. Heparin occurs in and is obtained from liver, lung, mast cells, etc., of vertebrates. Its function is unknown, but it is used to prevent blood clotting in vivo and vitro, in the form of many different salts.
