The purpose of present sutdy investigated the effect of haloperidol and L-dopa on the gastric ulcerationin in mice, 30 Male mice were separated from their own litters on the weaning (21±1 days) and then reared in group for 60 days. The mice were randomly allocated into three groups: 1) Saline group. Haloperidol(1mg/kg) group, L-dopa(150mg/kg) group. They were immobilized individually in supine-restraint devicers at 4℃, and after 1hr of cold restraint and 1½hr postrestraint rest period. The mice were sacrificed with an overdose Chloral Hydrate(400mg/kg, ip). The stomachs were then dissected out, cut alling the greater curvature, washed in cold water and examined micrescopically(×100) for gastric lesions. Histological samples were assessors in four scales. The results obtained were as follow; 1) L-dopa treated group revealed significantly lower stress-induced ulceration score than saline treatment group.
