The activity of dexamethasone and taxifolin {(2R, 3R)-2-(3, 4-Dihydroxyphenyl)-3,5,7-trihydroxy-2,3-dihydrochromen-4-one}supplementation on prostaglandin E2 and thromboxane A2 in gastric acid secretion and anti-ulcer was studied. Twenty male Wistar rats (180g-200g body weight) were used. The rats were randomly selected into four groups containing 5 rats each. Group 1 was the control group fed on normal rat feed. Group 2 received 3mg/kg of Dexamethasone (intraperitoneally) at one day interval. Group 3 received 3mg/kg of Dex. intraperitoneally and 1mg/kg body weight of taxifolin orally while group 4 received 1mg/kg body weight of taxifolin. At the end of 6 weeks, basal and peak gastric acid output was measured by continuous perfusion of rats stomach under anaesthesia with normal saline at the rate of 1ml/min. Gastric acid, mucus secretion, ulcer index, PGE-2 and thromboxane A2 activity were determined according to standard procedures. Results showed a significantly (p<.05) decreased prostaglandin and mucus secretion level and a raised thromboxane concentrations and gastric acid output in dexamethasone administration. Taxifolin significantly (p<.05) lowered thromboxane A2 concentration in Dex treatment while increasing the prostaglandin E2 level. We conclude that Taxifolin decreases dexamethasone- induced gastric acid secretion, increases prostaglandin activity but reduces thromboxane concentration.

AbstractStudies have shown that the hyperglycemic state induced by intravenous glucagon or glucose infusion may lead to inhibition of gastric acid secretion through the inhibition of gastric vagus activity. Histamine is a well-known mammalian acid secretagogue and it stimulates acid secretion through HMale Wistar rats weighing between 200 and 250 g were divided into three groups that received an intravenous infusion of normal saline (control group), glucose (hyperglycemic group), or insulin (hypoglycemic group) followed by injection of histamine to stimulate acid secretion. The oesophageal and duodenal ends of the rats’ stomach were cannulated with polythene tubing and the stomach was perfused at room temperature using a Langendoff perfusion apparatus. The effluent was collected in aliquots over 10 min per sample and its pH was measured.There was a significant (p<0.05) decrease in acid secretion following histamine injection in the hyperglycemic rats, while histamine injection led to an increase (p<0.05) in acid secretion in the hypoglycemic rats.These results show that hyperglycemic state would result in attenuated histamine-stimulated gastric acid secretion, while hypoglycemic state would lead to increased histamine-stimulated gastric acid secretion.
