Effect of metoclopramide on gastric distension and lethal toxicity of cisplatin in mice
1986
: Mice treated with cisplatin (cDDP), were found to have considerably bloated stomachs presumably resulting from paralysis of gastric emptying without appetite suppression and emesis. Repeated administration of metoclopramide (MCP) not only reduced gastric distension, but also the number of toxic deaths after 13 mg/kg of cisplatin i.p. The mechanism of action by which MCP increased the resistance of mice to cDDP seemed to be alleviation of systemic dehydration by means of enhanced gastric emptying.
