【 摘 要 】

Gastrointestinal mucosal integrity has been shown to be altered by chloroquine and amodiaquine, although the exact mechanism is not clear. Since Gastric Acid Secretion (GAS) plays significant role in the etiology of ulcer, the present study was aimed at investigating the effect of chloroquine and amodiaquine on GAS, Parietal Cell Mass (PCM) and Gastric Mucous Cell Population (GMP) in rats. Male albino wistar rats were randomly assigned into three groups viz: control, chloroquine (CQ, 3 mg/kg), amodiaquine (AQ, 10 mg/kg). Basal GAS as well as secretion in response to histamine and carbachol was measured by continuous perfusion of the stomach with normal saline (1ml/minute) under urethane anaesthesia (0.6 mg/100 g). After obtaining a steady basal output response to normal saline in all animals, the antimalaria drugs were administered intramuscularly and the peak responses to each drug obtained. Further assessment of the roles of histaminergic and muscarinic receptors were done using ranitidine (H
