چکیده انگلیسی:
Objective(s): Regarding Lemon verbena gastroprotective effects, we investigated the protective effects of Lemon verbena extracts on reducing gastric ulcer induced by indomethacin. Materials and Methods: Rats received aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Lemon verbena (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg), zileuton (100 mg/kg), montelukast (10 mg/kg), or 1% Tween 80 in presence or absence of indomethacin (100 mg/kg). Results: Indomethacin produced stomach ulcer and increased neutrophils percentage and MDA level compared with the control group (p <0.001). Co-administration of indomethacin and zileuton, montelukast and ethanolic (200 mg/kg) (p <0.001), aqueous extract (200 mg/kg) (p <0.05) reduced ulcer compared with the indomethacin group (p <0.001). Ethanolic extracts (100 and 200 mg/kg) and aqueous extract (200 mg/kg) reduced the MDA level (p <0.001). Ethanolic (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg) and aqueous extracts (200 mg/kg) significantly decreased neutrophils percentage compared with the indomethacin group (p <0.001). Conclusion: Aqueous and particularly ethanolic extracts of Lemon verbena have protective effects on indomethacin-induced gastric ulcers.
