Cytoprotective effects are important in keeping
the integrity of gastric mucosa from strong irritants which may induce
gastric ulcer. Chromolaena odorata plant extracts, honey and
cimetidine were used to evaluate their cytoprotective effects against
gastric lesions. Aqueous and ethanol extracts of the plant were
evaluated to determine which extracts are better in protecting gastric
mucosa. Sprague-Dawley rats, were either pre-treated via oral
administration with honey alone, aqueous or ethanol extracts of C.
odorata, or cimetidine for 30 minutes. Both plant extracts and
cimetidine were administered in combination with honey. The rats were
then fed with absolute ethanol combined with HCl, which served as
irritants to induce gastric lesions. 30 minutes later, the rats were
sacrificed and their stomachs were removed for further gross and
histological examination to evaluate gastric lesions progression. The
treatments groups were compared to ulcer control group, which were
administered with absolute ethanol combined with HCl only. Data were
expressed as ulcer index (mean ± S.E.M) and inhibition percentage. The
results showed that absolute ethanol combined with HCL causes necrosis,
hemorrhages and edema to the gastric mucosa. All treatments groups
showed a significantly (P<0.05) lower ulcer index and higher inhibition
percentage as compared to ulcer control group. The data suggest that
honey contain factors that promote gastric mucosa cytoprotective
effects. C. odorata enhances the effects of honey but the
mechanism is still unclear.
Keywords: Honey, C.odorata, gastric
ulcer, cytoprotective effects.
