Evaluation of the anti-ulcer activities of morus alba extracts in experimentally-induced gastric ulcer in rats
This study was aimed to elucidate the anti-ulcerogenic effects of Morus alba ethanolic extracts on ethanol induced gastric mucosal injury in animals. Four groups of adult male Sprague Dawley rats were included in the study. 10% Tween 80 was given orally to Group I rats as 2 negative control group. G...

Group 2 and 3 animals received alcoholic extract of Morus alba orally at 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg doses, respectively.

This study was aimed to elucidate the anti-ulcerogenic effects of Morus alba ethanolic extracts on ethanol induced gastric mucosal injury in animals. Four groups of adult male Sprague Dawley rats were included in the study. 10% Tween 80 was given orally to Group I rats as 2 negative control group. Group 2 and 3 animals received alcoholic extract of Morus alba orally at 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg doses, respectively. Omeprazole (20 mg/kg body weight) were given orally to Group 4 rats as a positive control. 60 minutes after their pretreatment, all rats were administered with 5 ml/kg absolute ethanol orally. One hour later, all animals were sacrificed. Grossly, Group I animals showed sever mucosal injury of gastric mucosa. However, a statistically significant reduction of gastric mucosal damage (p<0.05) was seen in animals pretreated with either plant extracts (250 mg/kg or 500 mg/kg body weight) or Omeprazole compared to negative control animals.
