Abstract:
:The current study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of combined therapy of gabapentin and pantoprazole against forestomach and pylorus ligation-induced gastric esophageal reflux disease (GERD) in albino Wistar rats. Rats were randomly divided into five groups, each group consisting of six rats, fasted for 24 h, underwent forestomach and pylorus ligation, received normal saline (3 ml/kg, p.o.), normal control, toxic control, pantoprazole (30 mg/kg, p.o.), gabapentin (50 mg/kg, p.o.), or their combination. After 10 h, animals were killed by cervical dislocation and evaluated for pH of gastric content, volume of gastric juice, total acidity, and esophagitis index. Esophageal tissues were further analyzed for biochemical parameters such as superoxide dismutase, glutathione, catalase, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, and protein carbonyl, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and histopathology were used for morphological evaluation. The results show the combination therapy of gabapentin and pantoprazole significantly inhibited the volume of gastric juice and total acidity esophagitis index and significantly increased the pH of gastric juice. Treatment with gabapentin and pantoprazole exhibited maximum antioxidant effect in comparison with monotherapy. Marked protection and restoration of normal morphology was observed through SEM and histopathology in the combination therapy as compared to monotherapy. Finally, it was concluded that combination therapy of pantoprazole and gabapentin has beneficial effect against GERD.
