Abstract Gastric ulcer is a common health issue. Cotinus coggygria heartwood extracts rich in the flavonoids fustin and sulfuretin have shown protective effects rat model of indomethacin-induced gastric ulceration. Fustin itself has been ethanol-induced ulcer. In present study we aimed to reveal effect flavonoid isolated from was purified. The experiment performed on 30 male Wistar rats allocat...

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of ACS14, a hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S)-releasing derivative of aspirin (Asp), on Asp-induced gastric injury. Gastric hemorrhagic lesions were induced by intragastric administration of Asp (200 mg/kg, suspended in 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose solutions) in a volume of 1 ml/100 g body weight. ACS14 (1, 5 or 10 mg/kg) was given 30 min before the Asp ad...

BACKGROUND In individuals suffering from eating disorders (ED) characterized by vomiting (e.g. bulimia nervosa), the gastric juice regularly reaches the oral cavity, causing a possible risk of dental erosion. This study aimed to assess the occurrence, distribution and severity of dental erosions in a group of Norwegian patients experiencing self-induced vomiting (SIV). METHODS The individuals...

BACKGROUND Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a very common affection, and esophageal involvement is particularly frequent. The means to effectively control symptoms and improve esophageal inflammation in these patients is to reduce esophageal acid exposure. For this purpose, we use gastric proton pump inhibitor, that can suppress gastric acid secretion. AIM To compare the effectiveness of tw...

Materials Methods an institution-based (Department of General Surgery at Government T.D. Medical College, Alappuzha) observa...

Gastric ulcers are common in horses, with a prevalence estimated from 53 to 93%.1-3 Gastric ulcers can lead to decreased performance, vague clinical signs and may go undiagnosed for months. Gastric ulcers are primarily caused by stomach acids. However, the anatomy of the stomach, diet, restricted feed intake, exercise, stress (stall or transport), and the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory ...

Stress causes hypocalcemia and ulcerogenesis in rats. In rats under stressful conditions, a rapid and transient increase in circulating prolactin (PRL) is observed, and this enhanced PRL induces PRL receptors (PRLR) in the choroid plexus of rat brain. In this study we used restraint stress in water to elucidate the mechanism by which PRLR in the rat brain mediate the protective effect of PRL ag...
