Abstract
In view of the strong inhibitory effects of the carboxamide-methylated L chain (Fr. I-L) from human IgG on gastric ulceration and juice secretion, various experiments were performed to clarify the mechanism of its action and obtained the following results. Fr. I-L inhibited the gastric ulceration induced by phenylbutazone or aspirin in rats, but no appreciable effect was observed on stress or acetic acid ulceration. The distribution of 14C-labeled Fr. I-L increased particularly in the stomach mucous membrane of rats after the i.v. or i.p. administration. The hexosamine content in the gastric mucous membrane, reduced by the treatment with phenylbutazone, aspirin or pylorus-ligation, was recovered by the administration of Fr. I-L to an intact level. The high total of hexosamine levels found in the gastric juice after aspirin treatment or pylorus-ligation were decreased by the injection of Fr. I-L or cimetidine. The histochemical observation revealed that the concomitant administration of Fr. I-L with phenylbutazone or aspirin prevented the abolishment of Hematoxylin-Eosin, Periodic Acid Schiff and Alcian Blue staining polysaccharides from the stomach epithelial cells.
