Article Abstract
Background: Gastric ulcer is a very common gastrointestinal disease that may be dangerous and even may lead to death. The current study was conducted to detect the prophylactic effects of agomelatine on indomethacin-induced gastric ulcer.
Methods: In this study, a total of 5 groups were created as the sham, ulcer, omeprazole, agomelatine 1 mg/kg and agomelatine 5 mg/kg groups. The effects of agomelatine on indomethacin-induced gastric injury were investigated. Total antioxidant and oxidant levels; the oxidant parameters like oxidative stress index and the inflammation markers such as tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, interleukin-6 and interleukin-10 levels in stomach tissue were determined by ELISA. In addition, the gastric mucosal injury occurred in stomach wall was examined with histopathological methods.
Results: While the levels of the inflammatory markers, total oxidant status and oxidative stress index increased at an obvious level especially in the indomethacin group, the total antioxidant status levels decreased. It was observed that these parameters were improved at a significant level in agomelatine 1 mg/kg and agomelatine 5 mg/kg groups when compared to ulcer group; and the results were similar to omeprazole group. It was also observed that our histopathological findings were consistent with all our other results.
Conclusions: The results of this study showed that agomelatine usage in indomethacin-induced gastric ulcer model provides beneficial results.

Gastroprotective Effects of Betahistine Against an Indomethacin-Induced Gastric Mucosal Ulcer in Rats: The Role of CINC-2α Gene.

Background: The role of histamine H3 receptors (H3Rs) in gastric protection and anti-inflammatory function is controversial. In this study, we investigated the gastroprotective effect of a histamine H3 receptor antagonist drug, betahistine, on cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC) gene expression in a rat model of indomethacin-induced gastric mucosal injury.
Methods: In this experiment, rats were divided into four groups; the control group received no treatment, group 2 was treated with indomethacin at a dose of 25 mg/kg, group 3 pre-treated with famotidine at a dose of 50 mg/kg, and group 4 pre-treated with betahistine (as a reference drug) at a dose of 50 mg/kg.

A peptic ulcer is a stomach lesion. It is generally caused by malnutrition, the use of anti-inflammatory medications, and an imbalance between mucosal defense systems. In fishes, the lubricous substance that called mucus secreted from the skin, prevents the entry of microorganisms that can enter the body through the skin.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and gastro-protective effects of β-Citronellol using various laboratory methods, including in vitro tests and animal models.
- Results showed that β-Citronellol effectively prevented protein denaturation and stabilized red blood cell membranes, along with reducing inflammation and gastric ulcers in rats.
- The findings indicate that β-Citronellol's protective effects are mediated through key inflammatory pathways involving COX-1, COX-2, and other markers, enhancing oxidative balance in gastric tissue.
