Effects of smoking and Helicobacter pylori on prostaglandin concentrations in gastric and duodenal mucosa of patients with duodenal ulcer and duodenitis.

The aim of this study was to determine the level of endogenous prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), prostaglandin F1 alpha (6-keto-PGF1 alpha) and thromboxane B2 (TXB2) in the gastric and duodenal mucosa of patients with duodenal ulcer and duodenitis. Besides, the investigation aimed at determining the effect of smoking and infection by Helicobater pylori on prostaglandin synthesis. The investigation comprised 62 patients with duodenal ulcer, 46 patients with duodenitis and 44 controls. The results of our investigation indicate that the decreased prostaglandin synthesis in gastric and duodenal mucosa determined in patients with duodenal ulcer may have a considerable role in development of duodenal ulcer. Furthermore, the harmful effects of smoking on the gastric and duodenal mucosa may be mediated by the decreased prostaglandin synthesis in the gastric and duodenal mucosa. However, Helicobacter pylori seems to affect the development of duodenal ulcer through other mechanisms.[1]
