Description:

a1_Gastric lipase (GL) plays an important role in emulsification and digestion of food fat. Lipids are components of the hydrophobic mucus and mucosa barrier. Damage of the gastric mucosa may therefore be related to changes in the lipid content and GL activity. In the present paper, we studied the effect of administration of a single dose of 96 % ethanol (E) and indomethacin 20 mg.kg-1 (IND) on the activity of GL and on the concentrations of nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) and triacylglycerols (TG) in the gastric mucosa of rats. Furthermore, we studied how these changes are affected by allopurinol (ALO), pentoxifylline (PX) and L-DOPA pretreatment 30 min before administration of E or IND. The effect of sialoadenectomy (SA) on these parameters was also evaluated. We found: 1) significant (p<0.01) inhibition of GL activity after administration of E and IND and also ALO, as well as after pretreatment with ALO before E and PX before IND. L-DOPA administered alone stimulated GL activity, but its administration before IND significantly (p<0.01) inhibited this enzymatic activity. GL activity was decreased to the threshold values in SA rats and after administration of E to SA animals. 2) NEFA concentrations were decreased after E and increased significantly (p<0.01) after IND administration. A marked significant (p<0.01) decrease in NEFA was found after PX and L-DOPA administration. The administration of ALO also lowered the concentration of NEFA. Pretreatment by drugs before E and IND resulted in a significant increase of NEFA in comparison with the drugs given alone (p<0.05 for ALO + E; p<0.01 for PX + IND). 3) TG were also decreased in all experimental groups in comparison with the control group, i.e. after E and IND, after ALO and SA and also after pretreatment by ALO before E. The concentration of TG decreased after PX, significantly (p<0.05) after L-DOPA and after pretreatment by PX before IND., a2_Pretreatment by ALO before E and L-DOPA before IND resulted in the increase of TG in comparison with drugs alone. Thus, these results suggest certain protective effect of pretreatment with ALO, PX and L-DOPA against the E- and IND-induced decrease in NEFA and TG during injury of the gastric mucosa. On the other hand, inhibition of GL activity was also apparent after administration of these drugs before E and IND, which suggest presence of a persisting impairment of lipid digestion in the stomach., A.
