Abstrakt: The potential involvement of leukotrienes in the pathogenesis of indomethacin-induced ulceration of the rat gastric antrum has been studied. Pretreatment with the leukotriene biosynthesis inhibitor, MK886 (30 mg/kg p.o.), inhibited the increases in blood and antral leukotriene B4 releaseex vivo associated with the evolution of antral ulceration. Despite this, however, there was no significant reduction in either the area of antral ulceration, or in the associated blood neutrophilia and neutrophil infiltration into the gastric antrum. Similarly, pretreatment with the leukotriene B4 antagonist, SC41930 (50 mg/kg p.o.) or the peptidyl leukotriene antagonist ICI198,615 (50 mg/kg p.o.) did not inhibit the area of antral ulceration induced by indomethacin.
