Article Synopsis
- Caesalpinia coriaria, a traditional medicinal plant in Mexico, is investigated for its protective effects against gastrointestinal diseases, specifically focusing on its ability to reduce gastric lesions induced by ethanol and indomethacin.
- The study uses male Wistar rats, administering varying doses of a methanol extract from the plant's pods and evaluating the impact on gastric lesions, inflammation, and antioxidant activity.
- Results show that the extract contains significant phenolic compounds and effectively reduces gastric ulcer lesions, inflammation markers, and maintains protective gastric levels, demonstrating its potential as a natural gastroprotective agent.
