The role of gastric acid in the development of gastroduodenal ulcers in prostaglandin-deficient conditions is unclear. In the current study, the effect of the proton pump inhibitor omeprazole on the formation of gastric ulcers was examined in a previously validated rabbit model of antibody-induced prostaglandin deficiency. Intragastric administration of 20 mg/kg omeprazole every 12 hours caused a profound suppression of gastric acidity (i.e., pH above 5 continuously). This same dose of omeprazole significantly reduced gastric ulcer formation induced by passive immunization with 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha antibodies. It is concluded from these observations that gastric acid plays a critical role in the formation of gastric ulcers in rabbits with antibody-induced prostaglandin deficiency.
