Liver regeneration is enhanced by omeprazole in rats following partial hepatectomy

Abstract: The effect of omeprazole on liver regeneration was studied in rats following partial (65 per cent) hepatectomy. Omeprazole 0.2 mg/kg increased the relative liver weight (weight of liver as a proportion of body-weight) and mitotic index (P < 0.05). There was no difference in food and water intake. The serum gastrin concentration was significantly higher in animals receiving omeprazole 0.2 mg/kg than in controls (P < 0.05). Omeprazole administration induced an increase in the level of serum alkaline phosphatase … Show more

“…Os anéis imidazólicos, dos quais são derivados, são inibidores do processo oxidativo nos microssomos hepáticos e, conseqüentemente, da regeneração do fígado 6 . Um estudo com hepatócitos in vitro mostrou que o omeprazol atua como um inibidor das mono-oxigenases do citocromo P-450 11 .…”

“…Isso ocorre já que ambas as substâncias causam aumento da secreção de gastrina, que é um fator hepatotrófico 4,6,13 . No presente estudo, apesar de não terem sido feitas dosagens da gastrina e das enzimas hepáticas, acredita-se que os diferentes mecanismos de ação dos anéis benzimidazólicos substituídos do omeprazol e do pantoprazol tiveram seus efeitos compensados.…”

“…Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and H 2 -receptor blockers have been broadly used to achieve this goal [19] . There are a few studies which report on the effects of these agents on liver regeneration with contradictory results [1,[20][21][22][23][24] .…”
