We studied the effect of simvastatin (24 mg/kg per os for 30 days) on DNA synthesis (3Hthymidine autoradiography) and free radical oxidation (chemiluminescent method) in the gastric mucosa of albino mice under normal conditions and in ulcerative process induced by single indometacin administration. Simvastatin treatment activated free radical oxidation, which was seen from enhanced chemiluminescence in the mucosa homogenate (by 1.7–4.6 times). Administration of indometacin against the background of simvastatin treatment potentiated local oxidative stress and inhibited DNA synthesis. Under these conditions, the area of ulcerative lesion in the gastric mucosa increased by 3.0 times.
