چکیده
The effect of 50 % ethanolic extract of Alectra parasitica var. Chirakutensis was assessed in different acute gastric ulcer models in rats. Alectra parasitica administered orally at dose levels of 50 – 200 mg/kg, twice daily for 3 days showed dose dependent ulcer protective effect 48.89 – 82.22% protection on aspirin -induced acute ulcers. Besides, Alectra parasitica reduced the ulcer index with significant (P < 0.01 and <0.001) protection of lipid peroxidation and superoxide dismutase and increased in catalase activity, respectively. Preliminary phytochemical screening of the Alectra parasitica gave the positive test for steroids, alkaloids, terpenoids, saponins and tannins. The results indicate that Alectra parasitica possesses antiulcer activity.

Introduction: One of the main mechanisms by which diabetic complications occur is an alteration of the structure and function of proteins due to hyperglycemia. Aspirin (ASA) affects cellular pathways through different mechanisms, including glycation inhibition and antioxidant activity. The aim of the present study, as a follow up to our previous one, is to investigate the effect of long-term, h...

Ethanol-induced acute gastric ulceration (EIGU) is widely studied. ATP dependent potassium channel (KATP) modulators are thought to interfere with some physiologic functions of the stomach. We have studied the effects of different doses of KATP modulators (diazoxide as agonist and glibenclamide as antagonist) on EIGU in rats. Gastric lesions were quantified. Fasting blood glucose (FBS) levels w...
