Abstract

Abstract When rats are starved with free access to a 20% glucose solution, extensive rumenal ulcers are found in almost all animals at the end of the third week. The formation of these ulcers may be inhibited by dissolving adequate amounts of two anti-acetylcholine agents in the glucose solution. A minimum of about 8 mg/kg of atropine sulphate daily is required for significant activity. Submaximal mydriatic effects are observed after oral administration of this dose. Dioxatrine, a tertiary amine of novel structure, inhibited ulcer formation at dose levels devoid of significant mydriatic activity. Dioxatrine prevents experimental ulcers in rats in one twentieth the dose of atropine.
