Current study aimed to research the effect of Hippophae rhamnoides (HRE) on potantial oral oxidative and inflammatory damage of 5-FU in rats. The rats were assigned to three groups; healthy (HG), 5-FU 100mg/kg (FUG) and HRE 50mg/kg +5-FU 100mg/kg (HRFU). The 5-FU was injected in the FUG group intraperitoneally.

Objective:: To investigate the effect of HRE (Hippophae rhamnoides extract) on oral mucositis induced in rats with MTX.

Material And Methods:: Experimental animals were divided into groups as healthy (HG), HRE+MTX (HMTX), and control group, which received MTX (MTXC). HMTX group received 50 mg/kg HRE while MTXC and HG groups received equivolume distilled water with gavage once a day.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to investigate and evaluate the effect of extract (HRE) on oropharyngeal mucositis induced in rats with methotrexate (MTX) through biochemical, gene expression, and histopathological examinations.

Methods: Experimental animals were divided into a healthy group (HG), a HRE+MTX (HREM) group, HRE group (HREG), and a control group that received MTX (MTXG). The HREM and HREG groups of rats was administered 50 mg/kg HRE, while the MTXG and HG groups were given an equal volume distilled water with gavage.
