The experiments with dogs exposed to accelerated electrons at a dose of 100 Gy have confirmed an important role of the central mechanism of early post-radiation dyspepsia which is realized through the excitation of receptors in the mechanism of postradiation gastrointestinal disturbance, alongside biogenic amines, prostaglandins also play a certain role. Studies on the effect of a prostaglandin biosynthesis blocker--dexamethasone, a corticosteroid--on post-radiation dyspepsia provide evidence that investigation of prostaglandin biosynthesis inhibitors with a mechanism different from that of dexamethasone is appropriate.
