Abstract
Formation of peptic ulcers under conditions of acute emotional stress was studied in rats injected with different doses of melatonin (0.5, 1, and 2 mg/kg). The number of total length of peptic ulcers increases under conditions of stress. In unstressed rats melatonin induces ulceration of gastric mucosa. In a dose of 1 mg/kg melatonin exerts protective effect on gastric mucosa. No significant changes in the number and total length of peptic ulcers are noted with 0.5 and 2 mg/kg melatonin.
