Chemically-Induced Peptic Ulcer: Gastroprotective Effects of Peach Fruit : (CTGH)- Lupine publishers
Chemically-Induced Peptic Ulcer: GastroprotectiveEffects of Peach Fruit by Qaiser Jabeen in Current Trends in Gastroenterologyand Hepatology in Lupine publishers Peptic ulcer, an inflammatory breach in the gastric and duodenal mucosa, is caused by hyper secretion of gastric acid and defective mucosal protective elements, affecting approximately 4 million people each year. The currently available antiulcer drugs are reported to have severe side effects. Hence, there is a need to develop more effective and less toxic alternative therapeutic agents from natural sources. The current study was conducted to investigate the therapeutic potential of Prunus persica Linn. Batsch fruit (Peach) against chemically-induced gastric and duodenal ulcers. http://www.lupinepublishers.com/gastroenterology-hepatology-journal/fulltext/chemically-induced-peptic-ulcer-gastroprotective-effects-of-peach-fruit.ID.000107.php http://www.lupinepublishers.com/gastroenterology-hepatology-journal/pd...
