Özet

The aim of this research was to investigate the effects of octreatide on gastric lesions and mucosal barrier in rats exposed cold +immobilisation stress. Twenty four Swiss Albino rats (approx 150-200 g) were used for this study. Feeds were witheld from to rats for 24 hours, after which they were divided in to three groups. Each group consisted of seven rats; I (n=7) non/stress-induced control group, 2 (n=7): cold and immobilisation stress was induced, 3 (n=7): 100 ?g/kg octreatide was administered subcutaneously one hour prior to stress induction. The rats were then killed and their stomachs examined for ulcerative lesions and ulcer indexes considered. The amounts of mucus and phospholipid, important components of the gastric mucosal barrier, were then rated using Corn and Baur methods and were found to be significantly decreased (p<0.05, p>0.05) in rats exposed to stress. In the third group given sandostatin, it was found that gastric lesions had been prevented. Moreover, mucus and phospholipid levels were higher in this group than the stress exposed control group. (p<0.05, p<0.05 respectively). According to our findings, octreatide is effective in preventing acute hemorrhagic gastric lesions caused by stress and in maintaining gastric mucosal barrier parameters.
