These animals were treated with distilled water (normal and negative controls), verapamil (positive control) and the extract at doses of 100, 200 and 400\u2009mg\/kg (test groups). One hour after treatment, gastric ulcers were induced in all animals by immersion in water (22\u2009\u00b1\u20091\u00b0C) for 5\u2009h except for the normal control. The ulcerated surface, mucus mass, in vivo oxidative stress parameters and nitrite levels were determined. In vitro antacid activity of the extract was evaluated on artificial gastric juice by the determination of pH, neutralization time and antacid capacity. Acute toxicity of extract was evaluated.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Treatment with RBAEDM showed a significant (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.01,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.001) decrease of ulcerated surface with a percentage of inhibition between 5.58% and 60.46%. The decrease in the ulcerated surface was accompanied by a significant (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.001) increase in mucus production at 400\u2009mg\/kg. Treatment with RBAEDM also showed a significant (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.001) decrease in malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and a significant increase in superoxide dismutase (SOD) level, catalase (CAT) activities, in addition to nitrite levels in stomachs. In artificial gastric juice, the RBAEDM caused a significant increase (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.001) of neutralizing time and the number of neutralized H\n                    <jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\n                    ions compared to distilled water.
