摘 要:AIM;Oxidative stress participates in the cell carcinogenesis by inducing DNA *** aim was to assess whether ascorbic acid,an antioxidant,could have a role in preventing ROS(Reactive Oxygen Species)generation in experimental gastric carcinoma in a rat model. METHODS:Experimental gastric cancer was induced in twelve Wistar male rats(weighting 250-350 g)by profound duodeno-gastric reflux throught split *** rats were allocated to the following groups:Group Ⅰ(n=6) was the control;Group Ⅱ(n=6)which was mantained with daily intake of tape water with Vitamin C(30 mg/Kg).After 6 or 12 months,samples of gastric tumor or non tumor mucosa were taken from the anastomosis of both groups. Oxidative stress was measured by superoxide quantification through lucigenin-amplified chemiluminescence base and by staining with *** histopathologic confirmation of adenocarcinoma was made by eosin- hemathoxilin method. RESULTS:The intestinal type of gastric adenocarcinoma was microscopically identified in all animals of group Ⅰ whereas only 3 rats of group Ⅱ showed an adenocarcinoma without macroscopic evidence of *** cancers were located in the anastomosis in all *** luminescence from tumor gastric tissue generated 38.4±6.8 count per minute/mg/×10~6(mean±SD)and 14.9±4.0 count per minute/mg/×10~6,respectively,in group Ⅰ and Ⅱ animals(P 0.05).The Nitrobluetetrazolium method showed intense staining in tumor tissues but not in non neoplasic mucosa. CONCLUSION:Experimental gastric tumors seem to produce more reactive oxygen species than non neoplasic gastric *** reduction of oxidative stress and gastric tumor incidence in rats were induced by the intake of ascorbic ***,it may have a role in the prevention of gastric carcinoma.
