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.
