(cassia) is a tropical aromatic evergreen tree of the Lauraceae family well known for its fragrance and spicy flavor and widely used in Asian traditional medicine. It has recently garnered attention for its diverse potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-diabetic properties. However, the gastroprotective effect of , particularly against ethanol-induced gastric damage, remains unclear. We investigated the potential gastroprotective property of and the underlying mechanisms of action in a rat model of ethanol-induced gastric injury. To assess its effectiveness, rats were fed for a 14-day period prior to inducing gastric damage by oral administration of ethanol. Our results indicated that pre-treatment with mitigated ethanol-induced gastric mucosal lesions and bleeding. Reduced gastric acid secretion and expression of acid secretion-linked receptors were also observed. Additionally, pretreatment with led to decreased levels of inflammatory factors, including TNF-α, p-p65, and IκBα. Notably, upregulated the expressions of HO1 and HSP90, with particular emphasis on the enhanced expression of PAS and MUC, the crucial gastric mucosa defense molecules. These findings suggest that has protective effects on the gastric mucosa and can effectively reduce oxidative stress and inflammation.

This study aimed to investigate the protective effects and defense mechanisms of a sesame meal protein hydrolysate against ethanol-induced acute gastric mucosal injury in mice. The target peptides in the hydrolysate were identified by LC-MS/MS, the activity was predicted by PeptideRanker, and the KM mice were orally administered distilled water, a sesame peptide, and omeprazole for 24 consecutive days. Acute gastric mucosal injury was then induced in mice with 70% ethanol, except for the CK group.

This study evaluates the protective effects of sinapic acid (SA), a polyphenolic compound with diverse biological activities, against ethanol-induced gastric ulcers in rats. A gastric ulcer model was established using ethanol (ETH), and the experimental groups received either omeprazole (OMEP, 20 mg/kg) or SA at doses of 20 mg/kg and 40 mg/kg via oral gavage for 14 days. Biochemical markers, including total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS), oxidative stress index (OSI), malondialdehyde (MDA), and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, were assessed alongside proinflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), and IL-6) using ELISA.

It is known that adverse stimuli, such as altered diets during pregnancy and lactation can result in deleterious effects on the progeny. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible gastrointestinal repercussions in the offspring of Wistar rats exposed to high-fat diets. Pregnant rats were divided into three groups: normolipidic diet (3.
