MeSH headings : Rats; Animals; Plant Extracts / chemistry; Rats, Wistar; Stomach Ulcer / chemically induced; Stomach Ulcer / drug therapy; Stomach Ulcer / pathology; Anti-Ulcer Agents / chemistry; Ethanol / chemistry; Indomethacin / adverse effects; Oxidative Stress; Cactaceae; Models, Theoretical; Gastric Mucosa / metabolism
TL;DR:
The phytochemical profile and gastroprotective activity of phenolic-rich extract of N. cochenillifera shows a cytoprotective effect in the histopathological analysis and stimulated the restoration of the mucus content as observed in the periodic acid-Schiff analysis without modifying the pH, volume or total acidity of the gastric juice.
