The effects of smoking and indomethacin on small intestinal permeability

Abstract: Background: Smoking modulates inflammatory bowel disease, protecting from ulcerative colitis on the one hand and worsening the course of Crohn’s disease on the other. This influence might occur through changes in intestinal permeability, because permeability is increased in most patients with Crohn’s disease. Aim: To study the influence of smoking on small intestinal permeability and its increase induced by indomethacin. Methods: 50 smokers and 50 nonsmokers underwent a 51Cr‐EDTA basal permeability test and th… Show more

“…kg -1 ), since the aim of these studies was to induce macroscopic lesions in the GIT mucosa, such as ulceration. In contrast, in study of Suenaert et al (2000) on human volunteers the drug at a dose of 125 was administered only in order to increase IP. Thus, the doses of IM as well as the route of drug administration in our experiment were based on the design of these human studies, taking into account the weight difference between calves and adult humans.…”

“…IP may also be enhanced with some chemical or physical stimuli, long-time fasting, exercise (Pals et al, 1997), following the administration of non-steroid antiinflammatory drugs (Suenaert et al, 2000;Gotteland et al, 2001) or alcohol (Napolitano et al, 1995). IP is also enhanced by the exposure to γ-radiation, mainly during abdominal or pelvic rtg-examination (Pia de la Maza et al, 2001).…”

“…71 Indomethacin, a nonsteroidal inflammatory drug, increases intestinal permeability, but this effect is abrogated in smokers. 72 Another study on UC subjects, however, did not show significant improvement in intestinal permeability in smokers. 73 Nicotine may influence inflammation in IBD through direct ligand-receptor binding of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) of the small bowel.…”

“…Finally, chronic exposure of rats to nicotine inhibits the antibody-forming cell response, impairs the antigenmediated signaling in T-cells and induces T-cell anergy [62] . Other effects of nicotine or smoking on the intestine include the alteration of gut motility, the reduction of smooth muscle tone and contractility (modulated by nitric oxide) [63] , decreased permeability [64] , and alterations in the microcirculation [65] , Furthermore, smoking also increases lipid peroxidation.…”
