The ability of a mild irritant to reduce ethanol-induced damage to the rat gastric mucosa was investigated using an ex vivo gastric chamber preparation. Exposure to 0.25 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) did not cause significant damage to the surface epithelium, but did reduce both the lesion area and the extent of superficial epithelial damage caused by subsequent exposure to 40% ethanol (EtOH). "Adaptive cytoprotection" was also demonstrated by the reduction of ethanol-induced changes in transmural potential difference and net K+ efflux, and by rapid recovery of these physiological parameters following the removal of ethanol from the chamber. Pretreatment of rats with indomethacin at a dose that has been shown to significantly inhibit gastric cyclooxygenase activity did not significantly affect the ability of 0.25 M HCl to reduce the effects of ethanol on lesion area, epithelial damage, potential difference, and net K+ efflux.
