| Popis: | The highly selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are successful in the treatment of depression mood and anxiety disorders. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of fluexotine and buspirone when given orally in three dose levels (5, 10 and 15 mg/ kg) not only for eight weeks on gastric lesions and oxidative markers in normal rats' mucosal integrity, but also for four weeks on gastric mucosal lesions in rats treated with indomethacin- induced ulcers. The results of this study showed that in normal rats, the administration of fluoxetine induced gastric lesions while buspirone caused no lesions. The indomethacin administration resulted in the development of gastric mucosal lesions. Furthermore, co-administration of fluoxetine and indomethacin enhanced the development of gastric mucosal lesions that were coupled with disturbance in antioxidant status. Buspirone, in contrast, significantly decreased the development of gastric mucosal lesions in rats treated with indomethacin. In conclusion, fluoxetine caused the development of gastric mucosal lesions and aggravate the effect of indomethacin to induce ulcer, however, buspirone had a protective effect that may be attributed to its antioxidant properties. Key words: Fluoxetine, buspirone, peptic ulcer, indomethacin-induced ulcer, oxidative stress. |
