Low molecular-weight gel fraction of Aloe vera exhibits gastroprotection by inducing matrix metalloproteinase-9 inhibitory activity in alcohol-induced acute gastric lesion tissues

Context: Aloe has been used for the prevention and cure of various diseases and symptoms including burns, injuries, oedema and pain. Objective: This study determines the specific inhibitory activity of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 induced by the low molecular-weight gel fraction of Aloe vera (L....

Zusammenfassung:Context: Aloe has been used for the prevention and cure of various diseases and symptoms including burns, injuries, oedema and pain. Objective: This study determines the specific inhibitory activity of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 induced by the low molecular-weight gel fraction of Aloe vera (L.) Burm.f. (lgfAv) on alcohol-induced acute gastric lesions. Materials and methods: We examined the protective effects of oral (p.o.) administration of lgfAv (molecular weight cutoff
