[Use of arachidene and alpha-tocopherol in the preoperative management of patients with peptic ulcer].

Abstract

It was established that concurrent use of arachidene and alpha-tocopherol in the commonly applied preoperative management of patients with peptic ulcer normalizes HCl secretion and the content of cytoprotective biological regulators of PGE2 and prostacyclin in the gastric juice. The level of thromboxane B2, lipoperoxides, and oxidized glutathione reduces significantly. It was also found that selective proximal vagotomy may in itself promote normalization of these metabolic indices.
