We investigated the role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of septic ileus. Sepsis was induced by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of lipopolysaccharides (LPS, 20 ing kg(-1)) in mice. The effect of two i.p. injections of superoxide dismutase [polyethylene glycol (PEG)-SOD, 4000 U kg(-1)] and catalase (PEG-CAT, 15 000 U kg(-1)) was investigated on gastric emptying, intestinal transit and total nitrite plasma concentrations. We also performed immunohistochemical experiments on gastric and ilea] tissue. LPS significantly delayed gastric emptying and intestinal transit while plasma nitrite levels increased. Polyethylene glycol (PEG)-SOD reversed the endotoxin-induced delay in gastric emptying and improved the delay in intestinal transit without effect on plasma nitrite levels. PEG-CAT slightly improved the delay in gastric emptying without effect on intestinal transit. Irnmunohistochemistry showed the presence of nitrotyrosine (NT) and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) in the gastric and ileal mucosa of LPS-treated mice. Treatment with PEG-SOD or PEG-CAT of LPS mice diminished the presence of NT or HNE in both tissues. In addition, LPS induced a significant increase in inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)-positive residential macrophages in the external musculature of stomach and ileum, which significantly decreased after PEG-SOD or PEG-CAT treatment. The present results support a role for oxidative and nitrosative stress in the pathogenesis of septic ileus in mice.
