Traditionally, it is used for the treatment of rheumatism, asthma, and gastrointestinal ailments. So far no investigation has been done on the beneficial or side effects of\n D. kotschyi<\/jats:italic>\n on peptic ulcer. Therefore, this research was performed to find out whether\n D. kotschyi<\/jats:italic>\n extract would induce peptic ulcer or could alleviate existing peptic ulcer.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Experimental approach:<\/jats:title>\n \n Effect of hydroalcoholic (DKHE) and flavonoid extracts (DKFE) of\n D. kotschyi<\/jats:italic>\n were determined in normal or indomethacin-induced gastric ulcer rats (n = 6) and compared with the vehicle and ranitidine treated controls. All the treatments were carried out orally and 24 h later the stomach mucus was visually examined for peptic ulcers. A section of the stomach was taken for microscopic histopathological examinations while another section of the stomach was used for measurement of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and malondialdehyde (MDA) activities.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Findings\/Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Oral administration of the DKHE and DKFE alone, did not cause any sign of gastric ulcer induction. The\n D. kotschyi<\/jats:italic>\n extracts not only didn\u2019t aggravate the induced ulcer but also significantly prevented the severity of gastric ulcer induction by indomethacin. In addition, DKHE and DKFE inhibited MPO (up to 58.2%) and MDA (up to 44.2%) activities indicating their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant potential action on the stomach-induced ulcer.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion and implication:<\/jats:title>\n \n Usage of\n D. kotschyi<\/jats:italic>\n extracts is not associated with gastric ulcer induction and its co-administration with NSAIDs would be beneficial for controlling both the inflammation and preventing gastric ulcer in diseases such as rheumatism.\n <\/jats:p>\n
