Biochemical Evaluation of the Ulcer Curative Effect of Aloe vera on Experimental Rats
Objective : The present work was aimed to evaluate the curative properties of Aloe vera leaf gel on experimentally induced ulcer in rats. Methods : Ethanol was used for the induction of ulcer. An aqueous extract of Aloe vera leaf gel was administered orally to ulcer rats. Total number of lesions in the gastric area, total volume, acidity, levels of protein and glycoprotein components were determined in the gastric juice. Results and conclusions : The observed decrease in the number of gastric lesions in the treated rats suggested the cytoprotective and acid regulating properties of the leaf gel.
