Controlled trial of ornithine alpha ketoglutarate (OAKG) in patients with stroke.

A double blind controlled trial of ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OAKG) was carried out on 50 patients admitted to the Royal Free and Royal Northern Hospitals, London, suffering from a recent stroke. Significant improvement was found in patients treated with OAKG when examined on the fifth day of therapy as compared to their control cases. The therapy was given for 5 days. When the patients in the treated and the control groups were compared 10 days after the beginning of treatment, there were no differences between the 2 groups. Implications of these findings are discussed.

[Prolonged effect of an antacid treatment on changes in gastric potential difference induced by aspirin in man].

In ten healthy volunteers, we evaluated the effects of a 6 days antacid treatment (Rocgel) on the aspirin induced changes in gastric potential difference (PD). In this placebo controlled cross-over study, PD was measured twelve hours after the last take of the antacid. Aspirin induced drop of PD was less pronounced after antacid compared to placebo; maximal fall of PD and area upper the curve decreased (p less than 0.001). This effect was observed twelve hours after the last take of the antacid. It may suggested a long-term protective effect on the gastric mucosa.
