PL-10.1.AK-15 is an active fragment of a naturally occurring protein first isolated from human gastric juice. Among its other protective effects, PL-10.1.AK-15 has demonstrated a protective effect on the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of PL-10.1.AK-15 on two functional parameters of gastrointestinal function: gastric acid secretion and gastrointes...

Methods Amalaki Rasayana samples were tested for their antiulcer effect in Charles Foster’s strain albino rats and divided into 4 groups: Control and Ordinary Amalaki Rasayana (O.A.R.), Freeze Dried Amalaki Rasayana (F.D. A.R.), Freeze Dried Amalaki Churna (F.D.A.C.) (100mg/ kg body weight, 7 consecutive days). Gastric ulcer was induced by oral administration of aspirin (400 mg/kg) and with lig...

AIM To substantiate the claims of Unani and Arabian traditional medicine practitioners on the gastroprotective potential effect of a popular spice anise, "Pimpinella anisum L." on experimentally-induced gastric ulceration and secretion in rats. METHODS Acute gastric ulceration in rats was produced by various noxious chemicals including 80% ethanol, 0.2 mol/L NaOH, 25% NaCl and indomethacin. A...

The present experiment was planned to assess the role of vagus and adrenals in gastric secretion in the pylorus ligated rats. Vagotomy significantly reduced the volume of gastric juice but the reduction following adrenalectomy was not significant. Both vagotomy and adrenalectomy significantly reduced the free acid, total acid and pepsin contents of the gastric secretion, the reduction being mor...

Effects of CL-1700 (N-acetyl-L-carnosine aluminum) and its constituents, L-carnosine, N-acetyl-L-carnosine and Al(OH)3 on acute or chronic gastric lesions in intact rats and on gastric secretion in pylorus-ligated rats were studied. CL-1700 at 600 or 1,000 mg/kg p.o markedly inhibited Shay ulcers or indomethacin-induced erosions, but its constituents at the doses contained in CL-1700 did not. A...

[1] In a 2008 publication a first principles calculation of the dayside reconnection rate expressed in terms of upstream–solar wind parameters led to a rudimentary solar wind coupling function R1 for the Earth’s magnetosphere. Four improvements to that derivation are added in the present paper, resulting in a more correct solar wind control function describing the rate at which solar wind magne...

The role of antimuscarinic action in gastric mucosal protection against necrotizing agents and the role of such mucosal protection in antiulcerogenic action were studied in rats with i.v. administered antimuscarinic agents. Pirenzepine, as well as PGE2, prevented the gastric mucosal lesions induced by all necrotizing agents (99.5% ethanol, 0.6 N HCI, 0.15 N NaOH, 0.4 N HCI-50 mM taurocholate), ...
