Gastroprotective Effect of Guttarda speciosa against Ethanol InducedGastric Ulcer in Rats
Ulcer is a common gastrointestinal disorder, irregular food habits, stress, and so forth. Peptic ulcers are a broad term that includes ulcers of digestive tract in the stomach or the duodenum. The formation of peptic ulcers depends on the presence of acid and peptic activity in gastric juice plus a breakdown in mucosal defenses. A number of synthetic drugs are available to treat ulcers. But these drugs are expensive and are likely to produce more side effects when compared to herbal medicines. The ideal aims of treatment of peptic ulcer disease are to relieve pain, heal the ulcer, and delay ulcer recurrence. In this present study was carried out to evaluate the gastro protective effect of flavonoid glycoside (G1) from the flowers of Guttarda Speciosa against ethanol induced gastric ulcer in rats.
