Haemostatic effect of triglycylvasopressin on bleeding from gastric mucosal lesions in the rat.

The haemostatic effect of triglycylvasopressin (TGLVP) on the gastric mucosa was evaluated in an experimental model in the rat. TGLVP was found to reduce the bleeding significantly compared with the untreated controls. The haemostatic effect was most prounounced and prolonged when 200 microgram/kg b.w. was given intravenously. The clinical application of this finding is discussed.
