Abstract

The one purpose of present study was to examine whether dopamine system is involved in the stress-induced stomach ulceration in mice and the other purpose was to show how attenuation of ulcer by isolation-rearing relates to dopamine system, L-dopa treated animals revealed significantly lower ulceration score than that of saline treatment animals, whereas haloperidol treated animals showed higher ulceration score than saline group in both isolation-reared animals and peer-reared animals. Compared with peer-rearing group, isolation-rearing reduced significantly the development of ulcer in L-dopa, saline, and haloperidol treatment. There was a similar ulceration score between L-dopa treated peer group and haloperidol treated isolation group. The results support our previous findings that catecholamine activity is elevated abnormally by isolation-rearing.
