It has been suggested that changes in the micro circulatory system are related to the early production of acute gastric mucosal injury and inflammatory factors such as prostaglandins, histamine, etc., have been considered as contributing to the development of the injury. We assessed the permeability of the gastric mucosa in rats with ethanol-induced acute mucosal injury by measuring the leakage rate of 51chronium-ethylene-diamine-tetraacetic acid (51Cr-EDTA) into the gastric juice. Histamine concentrations in the gastric mucosa was measured by high performance liquid chromatography. The enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cell counts in the gastric mucosa was performed following histamine staining with an enzyme-labeled antibody, and the histamine released due to degranulation was observed. We also investigated the kinetics of endogenous histamine in the gastric mucosa. Five minutes after the administration of ethanol, an increase in permeability, an increase in histamine concentration, and a decrease in ECL cell count were found in the gastric mucosa. These results suggest that endogenous histamine in the gastric mucosa is closely related to the early development of acute gastric mucosal injury.
