Abstract EN
Curcuma aromatica is an herbal medicine and traditionally used for the treatment of various diseases in Asia.
We investigated the effects of C.
aromatica water extract (CAW) in the stomach of rats with ethanol-induced gastritis.
Gastritis was induced in rats by intragastric administration of 5 mL/kg body weight of absolute ethanol.
The CAW groups were given 250 or 500 mg of extract/kg 2 h before administration of ethanol, respectively.
To determine the antioxidant effects of CAW, we determined the level of lipid peroxidation, the level of reduced glutathione (GSH), the activities of catalase, degree of inflammation, and mucus production in the stomach.
CAW reduced ethanol-induced inflammation and loss of epithelial cells and increased the mucus production in the stomach.
CAW reduced the increase in lipid peroxidation associated with ethanol-induced gastritis (250 and 500 mg/kg, p < 0.01 , resp.) and increased mucosal GSH content (500 mg/kg, p < 0.01 ) and the activity of catalase (250 and 500 mg/kg, p < 0.01 , resp.).
CAW increased the production of prostaglandin E2.
These findings suggest that CAW protects against ethanol-induced gastric mucosa injury by increasing antioxidant status.
We suggest that CAW could be developed for the treatment of gastritis induced by alcohol.
