Zusammenfassung: | ABSTRACTObjective: This work was designed to investigate and compare the possible protective effect of pharmacological doses of garlic and omega 3 againstgastric lesions induced by ethanol in mice.Methods: A total of 30 mice involved in the study were divided into five groups with 6 mice for each. Groups 1 (ulcer control) and 2 (normal control),Groups 3 (positive ulcer control treated with ranitidine 50 mg/kg), Groups 4 and 5 treated with garlic oil and omega 3 oil at doses 200 and 150 mg/kg,respectively. All groups treated orally by gastric gavage once daily for 14 days before starting gastric ulcer (GU) induction process by absolute ethanoladministration.Results: A treatment with garlic and omega 3 ameliorated the severity of gastric ulceration evidenced by reduced ulcer index area, increase %gastroprotection, increase mucus content, reduced erosions, and necrosis.Conclusion: Oral administration of pharmacological doses of garlic oil and omega 3 oil shows significant gastroprotection against GU models inducedby absolute ethanol confirmed by biochemical and histological data.Keywords: Gastric ulcer, Garlic, Omega 3, Gastroprotection. |
