High values (800-6000 parts per billion) of nitric oxide (NO) in expelled air from the stomach were shown in humans by chemiluminescence technique. These NO values were more than 100 times higher than those found in orally exhaled air. Intragastric NO production is probably non-enzymatic, requiring an acidic environment, as NO in expelled air was reduced by 95% after pretreatment with the proton pump inhibitor omeprazole. Furthermore, large amounts of NO were formed in vitro from lettuce and saliva when placed in hydrogen chloride (pH < 2). In conclusion, large amounts of NO are formed intragastrically in humans and this source of NO may be of importance for the integrity of the gastric mucosa in health and disease. Measurements of NO in expelled air might be of value as a non-invasive method for estimation of gastric acidity.
通过化学发光技术显示,人类呼出的胃内气体中一氧化氮(NO)含量很高(800 - 6000 ppb)。这些NO值比口腔呼出气体中的NO值高出100多倍。胃内NO的产生可能是非酶促的,需要酸性环境,因为在用质子泵抑制剂奥美拉唑预处理后,呼出气体中的NO减少了95%。此外,当生菜和唾液置于氯化氢(pH < 2)中时,体外会形成大量NO。总之,人类胃内会形成大量NO,这种NO来源可能对健康和疾病状态下胃黏膜的完整性具有重要意义。测量呼出气体中的NO可能作为一种估计胃酸度的非侵入性方法具有价值。
