Thymoquinone: Novel gastroprotective mechanisms

European Journal of Pharmacology, 2012
Ample of evidence proved the gastroprotective effect of thymoquinone (TQ), the main constituent of Nigella sativa oil; however, the full mechanistic cassette on the gastric ulcer etiopathogenesis is not fully elucidated. The aim of the present work is to unveil some of the possible mechanisms.

Role of endogenous gastrin in gastroprotection

European Journal of Pharmacology, 1995
Gastrin has a potent influence on gastric acid secretion and mucosal growth but its role in mucosal integrity has been little studied. This study investigated in rats whether gastrin protects the gastric mucosa against the damage by 100% ethanol and what are the possible mechanisms of this protection.

Gastroprotective Effect and Cytotoxicity of Labdenamides

Planta Medica, 2007
Some 18 aromatic amides from the labdane diterpenes 15-acetoxyimbricatolic acid and 15-acetoxylabd-8(9)-en-19-oic acid were prepared and assessed for their gastroprotective effect in the HCl/EtOH-induced gastric lesion model in mice. The analysis of the gastroprotective activity of the benzylamides belonging to the series 8(9)- and 8(17)-ene was ...

Gastroprotective mechanism of Bauhinia thonningii Schum

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2013
Bauhinia thonningii Schum. (Cesalpiniaceae) is locally known as Tambarib and used to treat various diseases including gastric ulcer.The current study aims to evaluate the gastroprotecive mechanism(s) of methanolic (MEBT) and chloroform (CEBT) extracts of Bauhinia thonningii leaves on ethanol-induced gastric ulceration.Gastric acidity, quantification ...

Physiological role of cholecystokinin in gastroprotection in humans

American Journal of Gastroenterology, 1998
Cholecystokinin (CCK) is able to protect gastric mucosa against acute injury in experimental animals but little is known about the role of this hormone in maintaining mucosal integrity in humans. This double-blind, placebo controlled study was performed in 16 healthy volunteers.

Antisecretory and gastroprotective effects of aescine in rats

General Pharmacology: The Vascular System, 1994
1. This study was designed to determine the antisecretory effects of aescine in the perfused stomach of the anaesthetized rat. In addition, the effects of aescine on mucosal lesions produced by intragastric instillation of 1 ml of absolute ethanol, its action on the production of mucus and the possible role of PGs in aescine induced gastroprotection ...

Eicosanoid and gastroprotection by copper derivatives and NDGA

Inflammation Research, 1995
We investigated the effect of oral administration of graded doses of: nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), CuNSN, a bis(2-benzimidazolyl)thioether and CuCl2 on ethanol-induced gastric damage in the rat and the role of leukotrienes and prostaglandins in attenuating this damage.

Gastroprotective activity of Trichosanthes cucumerina in rats

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2010
The aim of the present study was to scientifically investigate whether Trichosanthes cucumerina Linn (Family: Cucurbitaceae) has gastroprotective activity.All the experiments were conducted using Wistar strain rats (weight: 200-220 g). The food and water given to rats was withdrawn for 36 and 12h respectively, before the commencement of the experiment.

Role of prostaglandins in gastroprotection.

Digestive diseases and sciences, 1998
Numerous agents increase gastric mucosal resistance against intraluminal ulcerogens. Although the precise mechanisms of gastroprotection are uncertain, various endogenous mediators involved in gastroprotective effects have been characterized. As prostaglandins exert potent protective effects and inhibition of prostaglandin formation abolishes "adaptive
