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...

Background: Gastric ulcer is among the most serious stomach disorder universally. Several effective drugs are employed in the management of this disease, although there have been adverse effects in some cases. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of nortriptyline to protect against gastric lesions, induced by indomethacin or cold-stress in rats. Methods: Gastric lesions were ind...

background: evidences show that aloe vera (a. vera), camellia sinensis, hibiscus sabdariffa and sophora alopecuroides may prevent gastric ulcer induced by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids). objective: to examine the protective potential of these plants against indomethacin-induced gastric ulcer in the rat. methods: saline, a. vera leaf gel powder and 70% alcoholic extracts of the o...

BACKGROUND Bael (Aegle marmelos (L.) Corr.) has been widely used in indigenous systems of Indian medicine to exploit its medicinal properties including astringent, antidiarrheal, antidysenteric, demulcent, antipyretic, antiulcer, anti-inflammatory and anti cancer activities. The present study aims to evaluate the antioxidative and antiulcer effect of methanolic extract of unripe fruit of Aegle ...

Background: Evidences show that Aloe vera (A. vera), Camellia sinensis, Hibiscus sabdariffa and Sophora alopecuroides may prevent gastric ulcer induced by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Objective: To examine the protective potential of these plants against indomethacin-induced gastric ulcer in the rat. Methods: Saline, A. vera leaf gel powder and 70% alcoholic extracts of...

This study was undertaken to determine the healing of ulcers induced by indomethacin due to antioxidant role of fruit extract of Benincasa hispida (Ashgourd) on ulcers in rats. Malondialdehyde (MDA) in RBC and antral homogenate was determined to measure tissue oxidation. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) in RBC and antral homogenate, plasma and homogenate vitamin C were estimated as measures of antiox...

Gastric ulcers have been considered as a major problem worldwide. This study investigated the protective synergistic effect of novel nutrient formulation for protection and treatment indomethacin-induced gastric ulcer in rat model. 24, 8 w old male rats with body weight between 220 240 g, were divided into four groups used this study. Group 1 consists healthy controls group 2 ulcerative animals...

The gastro-protective and antioxidant effects of methanol extract of Ficus asperifolia bark on indomethacin induced gastric ulcer were investigated in male rats. Thirty two male rats divided into 4 equal groups and were treated as follows: group1 (control), 0.5ml of 5% tween 80 (vehicle for the extract), groups 2 and 3, 100 and 500mg/kg of Ficus asperifolia extract respectively and group 4, cim...
