In the present study, we investigated whether the antiulcer effects of nimesulide (100 mg kg(-1) and ranitidine (150 mg kg(-1) were dependent on the adrenal cortex hormones. The antiulcer effects of nimesulide and ranitidine were examined in the indomethacin-induced gastric ulcer model in rats (first experiment). The mean ulcer areas in the control and ranitidine-treated groups were 11.1 +/- 3....

Gastric ulcers are a common gastrointestinal disease with complex etiology. It manifests various signs and symptoms, which, in severe cases, could be life-threatening, especially developing countries. Medicinal plants have been known to exhibit therapeutic potential minimal adverse effects thus employed treating diseases. This study evaluated the effect of ethanolic Myrianthus arboreus leaf ext...

Various studies have indicated that peptic ulcers occurring during the course of diabetic state are more severe and often associated with complications such as gastrointestinal bleeding. This study is an attempt to understand the pathogenesis of indomethacin-induced gastric ulcers occurring during the diabetic state using suitable markers and its amelioration by quercetin and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ1...

Purpose: To investigate the activity of Feronia elephantum fruit pulp extract (which is used in folk medicine) against indomethacin-induced gastric ulcer in rats. Methods: The fruit pulp was extracted with ethanol and the anti-ulcer activity of the extract in indomethacin-induced gastric ulceration in Swiss albino rats was evaluated. The parameters assessed were pH and acid concentration of gas...

BACKGROUND In various studies, Cydonia oblonga Miller (quince) has been reported to have many properties such as antioxidant and anti-ulcerative effects. This study has aimed to investigate the protective effects of quince aqueous extract (QAE) and quince hydroalcoholic extract (QHE) on gastric ulcer caused by indomethacin and the relevant macroscopic, histopathology, and biochemical factors in...

This study aimed comparison the gastric ulcer induced by indomethacin, aspirin, and ethanol on level of pathological changes, ulcers surface area, index. Forty rats were divided into 4 groups: control group received normal saline, remaining groups, Indomethacin 40 mg/kg, Aspirin group100 80% 5 ml/kg, all doses orally administrated one time. The result revealed had largest whereas indomethacin a...

Background: Several plants are used as analgesic in traditional medicine. Capparis spinosa (C. spinosa) is widely for the treatment of gout and rheumatic arthritis. The previous studies have reported antinociceptive effects this plant. Objectives: study was aimed at examining C. spinosa’s gastric-ulcerogenecity effect comparison to indomethacin. Methods: percolated extract Indomethacin were ora...

This research investigated the effect of Andrographis paniculata (AP) on oxidative stress following indomethacin-induced gastric ulcer in rats. A total 20 male albino Wistar rats (150-180g) used for this study were grouped into four (n=5): 1, Negative Control; 2, Positive Control and 3, test group treated with normal chow, 20mg/kg indomethacin, mg/kg indomethacin plus omeprazole at AP 16.7 resp...

The present study was undertaken to determine the anti-ulcer and antioxidant potential of GutGard, a standardized extract of Glycyrrhiza glabra commonly known as licorice. Effect of various doses (12.5, 25, and 50 mg/kg, po) of GutGard was studied on gastric ulcers in pylorus ligation-, cold-restraint stress- and indomethacin induced gastric mucosal injury in rats. Anti-ulcer activity was evalu...
