Z. Sallingova et A. Kohut, PENTOXIFYLLINE-ASSOCIATED REDUCTION OF INDOMETHACIN-INDUCED RAT GASTRIC-MUCOSAL INJURY IS SUPPORTED BY DECREASED LIPID-PEROXIDATION, Physiological Research, 43(2), 1994, pp. 95-99
Pentoxifylline pretreatment protects rat gastric mucosa against indome
thacin-induced damage. Lipid peroxidation after indomethacin treatment
(determined as thiobarbituric acid reactants) was significantly reduc
ed by a single dose of pentoxifylline. The same was true for pentoxify
lline administration for 6 days. There is a relationship between reduc
ed lipid peroxidation, decreased number of circulating activated neutr
ophils and diminished disposition for acute gastric mucosal lesions in
duced by indomethacin in pentoxifylline-pretreated rats.
