How Hyperosmolar Solutions (Glucose 30%) May Prevent Stress Induced Ulcers in Rats*

groups A, B, and C, respectively. However, radioactivity levels of the C14-labelled glucose in the gastric wall 13.27±0.02 %, 21.32±0.016 %, and 8.03±0.005 % in groups A, B, and C, respectively. Differences between groups were found to be statistically significant in ulcer index, absorption rate, and amount of radioactivity in the stomach. These results show that glucose is absorbed through the gastric wall and that has a protective effect on stress-induced ulcers in rats.
