Abstrakt: Abstract  Treatment with synthetic arginine-containing dermorphin analogue sedatin (100 mg/kg, 5 intraperitoneal injections) stimulated DNA synthesis in the gastric mucosa and decreased spontaneous and induced chemiluminescence in homogenates of the stomach from albino rats. Non-arginine sedatin analogue in the same dose had little effect on DNA synthesis and free radical oxidation. Fivefold treatment with NO synthase inhibitor L-NAME (9.3×10−5 mol/kg) suppressed DNA synthesis in the gastric mucosa. Sedatin did not modulate DNA synthesis against the background of L-NAME administration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
