Rescue potency of Eucalyptus oil against gamma-rays induced gastric ulceration

Background: Eucalyptus oil often used for medicinal purposes. Aims: The gastro protective impact investigated against gamma-rays-exposure-induced gastric ulceration in rats. Materials and Methods: Thirty-two rats were divided equally into 4groups; control, (100mg/ kg), gamma-rays (7Gy) plus treated groups. stomach histopathology samples examined. levels of malondialdehyde, reduced glutathione, superoxide dismutase, tumour necrosis factor-α the interleukin-1β assessed. Results: histopathological examination revealed that pre-treatment with enhanced regeneration mucosal crypt cells. results a decreased level inflammatory markers, increased antioxidants markers group. Conclusion: ameliorates gamma-rays-induced could attribute to its antioxidant, anti-apoptotic radioprotective activities.
