Abstract


Peptic ulcer in the human stomach causes localised destruction of the gastric wall, which may be associated with focal vascular insufficiency. E:ndothelin-1(ET-1) , is an extremely potent vasoconistrictor peptide, which is mainly drived from vascular endothelial cells and modulates regional blood flow in the vasculature of stomach.

We have studied the role of ET-1 in the human peptic ulcer
'
in conditions associated with disturbances :of endogenous

homeostasis, to demonestrate its effect in various disorders.

'. The study was carried out on 55 patients ,in addition to 5 healthy persons as controls, they were classified into six groups.

Group 1: 15 patients with peptic ulcer only.


Group II: 10 cirrhotic patients who were not suffuring from peptic ulcer.

Group III: 10 drrhotic patients with active peptic ulcer.


Group IV: 10 patients with CRF only and are not suffuring from peptic ulcer.

Group v: 10 patients with CRF and active peptic ulcer.


Control Group: 5 healthy persons with non ulcer dyspepsia
