Effects of single and repeated doses of argan oil (Argania Spinosa L) on ethanol-induced gastric ulcers in rats
Keywords:
Gastric ulcer, Argan oil (AO), Total gastric acidity, GastroprotectiveAbstract
The health advantages of argan oil (Argania spinosa L), which is derived from the kernels of Moroccan argan trees, include analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, antithrombotic, hypolipidemic, and antidiabetic effects. Male albino rats with ethanol-induced stomach ulcers were studied to determine the gastroprotective effects of oral argan oil doses, both once and repeatedly. In addition to lowering ulcer length, number, and total mucus production, the results demonstrated that argan oil dramatically decreased the number of ulcers and overall gastrointestinal acidity. For the first time, it has been found that argan oil protects rats' stomachs from developing ulcers caused by ethanol
