Adenosine deaminase activity was studied in the gastric mucosa of patients with peptic ulcer in relation to ulcer localisation and treatment with ranitidine or sucralfate. Enzyme activities observed in the corpus mucosa were higher at a distance of over 2 cm from the ulcer margin than that recorded close to the ulcer. A significant decrease in adenosine deaminase activity was found after treatment with ranitidine but not with sucralfate. In the antral mucosa, enzyme activity was constant in all the groups observed. The evaluation of adenosine deaminase activity in gastric mucosa can be useful for studies of pathologic changes in the stomach.

Adenosine deaminase activity was studied in endoscopically taken slices from gastric mucosa in patient after partial gastric resection performed due to complicated duodenal ulcer, and currently with peptic ulcer in the stump. The samples of gastric mucosa were taken before and after 6 weeks of treatment with ranitidine, 150 mg twice daily, at a distance within 2 cm and greater than 2 cm from the ulcer crater. Adenosine deaminase activity was measured in mucosa homogenates by determination of ammonia liberated from substrate. It was found that therapy with ranitidine was accompanied by an increase in enzyme activity in the mucosa surrounding unhealed stump ulcers, while no changes were noted in mucosa around healed stump ulcers. A possible role of mucosal adenosine deaminase activity in stump ulcer healing is postulated.

Adenosine deaminase activity was studied in gastric corpus mucosa close to an ulcer crater. It was found that 6 weeks of therapy with ranitidine was accompanied by a decrease in enzyme activity in the mucosa around healed ulcers and an increase around those which failed to heal. The different activities of adenosine deaminase in the vicinity of healed and unhealed ulcers may indicate its possible role in peptic ulcer healing.
