Abstract
We investigated the effect of sucralfate on angiogenesis in granulation tissue of gastric ulcers induced by acetic acid in rats using the carmine dye method. Intragastric administration of sucralfate at a dose of 500 mg/kg twice daily for 9 days significantly accelerated ulcer healing and significantly increased the extent of angiogenesis in the ulcer base on the tenth day after ulcer induction. As we reported previously, intragastric administration of cimetidine at a dose of 100 mg/kg once daily for 9 days decreased the extent of angiogenesis on the tenth day. However, combination treatment using sucralfate and cimetidine accelerated ulcer healing significantly, without altering the extent of angiogenesis. It is concluded, therefore, that the treatment with sucralfate may be effective in peptic ulcer disease from the standpoint of angiogenesis in the ulcer base.
