Popis: Background Indomethacin (Indo) exerts local toxic effects on small intestinal mucosa, possibly in association with hydrophobic bile salts. We investigated the potential toxic effects of Indo on ileal mucosa and the role of phosphatidylcholine (PC). Materials and methods Transmucosal resistance and Na-fluorescein permeability of ileal mucosa segments from female Wistar rats were determined in Ussing chambers during a 30-min incubation with model systems containing: control-buffer, taurodeoxycholate (TDC), Indo, TDC-Indo, TDC-PC, or TDC-PC-Indo. Decrease of resistance and increase of permeability were considered as parameters for mucosal injury. After incubation in Ussing chambers, the histopathology was examined to quantify the extent of mucosal injury. Also, in CaCo-2 cells, LDH-release was determined as a measure of cytotoxicity, after incubation with various model systems. Results Decrease of resistance and increase of permeability were highest in systems containing TDC-Indo (P
