Aim: To evaluate the effect of inhibiting inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), by aminoguanidine, or leukocyte infiltration, by fucoidin, on gastropathy induced by two different doses of indomethacin in rats. Methods: Rats were treated with saline, aminoguanidine (50 or 100 mg.kg(-1), i. p.) or fucoidin (25 mg.kg(-1), i. v.). Indomethacin was then given at a dose of 5 or 20 mg.kg(-1). At the end of 3 h, macroscopic gastric damage and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity were assessed. Results: Aminoguanidine reduced the gastric damage induced by indomethacin at 20 mg.kg(-1), but increased gastric MPO activity. However, aminoguanidine did not influence the gastric damage induced by indomethacin at 5 mg.kg(-1). Fucoidin prevented both the gastric damage and the increase in gastric MPO activity induced by indomethacin at 20 mg. kg(-1), but not at 5 mg.kg(-1). Conclusion: Indomethacin at a dose of 20 mg.kg(-1), but not at 5 mg.kg(-1), induced gastropathy dependent on neutrophil infiltration and iNOS-generated NO.
